Collection: Art Deco (1920-1945)
The period known as Art Deco, which began after World War I, was named after the French architect Le Corbusier. He named the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes as "1925 Expo: Art Deco."
Unlike Georgian Era and Victorian Era jewelry, Art Deco Jewelry stands out for its geometric, angular, and sleek appearance. Many architects were motivated by the Art Deco style to create iconic buildings based on these principles.
Art Deco jewelry, which became popular in the 1920s and 1930s, featured a bold shift from the natural and fluid designs of Art Nouveau. The materials commonly used in Art Deco jewelry were selected to highlight precise geometric shapes and a feeling of luxury. Diamonds became the focus of attention, being highly desired for their stunning brightness and flawless transparency. Other gemstones such as sapphires, rubies, and emeralds were frequently utilized to introduce vivid pops of color, producing a striking and contrasting impact.
Art Deco was known for its unique change in design themes, moving away from the natural shapes of Art Nouveau. Art Deco jewelry commonly featured geometric precision, symmetry, and an air of luxury. Geometric shapes like triangles, rectangles, and circles were frequently used, often organized in detailed designs that communicated a clear message of organization and elegance.
