Collection: Retro (1939-1950)

The Retro Era came to an end following the conclusion of World War II. The design draws a lot of influence from the war and the subsequent triumph.
The Art Deco Era's symmetrical element was not abandoned in the transition to the Retro Era, but instead was reimagined in a more daring and robust design.

Jewelry from the retro era, popular in the 1940s and 1950s, showcased a unique mix of metals and stones that captured the style of that period. Yellow gold was a popular choice for Retro era jewelry, frequently seen in large, chunky pieces that gave off a feeling of wealth and extravagance. Rose gold has also experienced a comeback, bringing a cozy and sentimental tone to a variety of items.
Colored gemstones such as amethysts, aquamarines, citrines, and sapphires were the main focus of this period, commonly displayed in striking, oversized settings. The addition of pavé and baguette-cut diamonds, as well as these gemstones, brought a colorful and captivating aspect to Retro jewelry. The use of vibrant stones and strong metalwork in jewelry during the Retro era reflected a feeling of joy and hopefulness after the war, making these pieces a vivid symbol of the period.

Retro jewelry was greatly impacted by the social and cultural environment during the post-World War II era, as well as the allure of Hollywood. Stars and stripes were popular symbols in Retro era jewelry, representing the wartime mood and the longing for togetherness. The use of rose and bow designs in floral patterns conveyed feelings of romance and femininity, reflecting the hopeful spirit of post-war era.
