1920’s Platinum Jewelry

In the 1920's Platinum was the new luxury metal for jewelry used with stones like coral, jade, aquamarine, citrin, onyx and opal as well as the more traditional gems like diamond, ruby, and emerald in rings, bracelets, pendants, earings, pins etc.

White metals like platinum, white gold, and silver carried over in popularity from the previous decade. The stark white-on-white look of diamonds on platinum appeared elegant and sophisticated, but the 1920's contribution was to add gemstones like rubies and emeralds to provide accent.

New techniques in working with platinum were developed that allowed intricate decorative patterns to be carved on jewelry surfaces. This enabled the creation of beautiful engagement rings from the 1920's that are sought after by collectors today.
