Art Deco jewellery is a dazzling reflection of the cultural and artistic dynamism of the 1920s and 1930s. Characterised by bold geometric shapes, vibrant colours, and a luxurious use of materials, Art Deco pieces are iconic in their design and craftsmanship.
Geometry plays a central role with motifs such as chevrons, sunbursts, and zigzags creating a sense of modernity and sophistication. Symmetry and sharp lines define the aesthetic, often contrasted with the smooth curves of gemstones and pearls.
Materials used are opulent and varied, including platinum, diamonds, emeralds, rubies, sapphires, and onyx. These precious stones are often set in intricate patterns or combined with contrasting colours to maximise their visual impact.
The craftsmanship of Art Deco jewellery is meticulous, with emphasis on detail and precision. Pieces are often characterised by intricate work, precise bezel settings, and innovative techniques like calibré-cut gemstones to fit perfectly within a design.
Art Deco jewellery captured the spirit of the Roaring Twenties and the Jazz Age, embodying a sense of glamour, luxury, and modernity. It remains highly sought after today for its timeless elegance and historical significance in the world of art and design.
