-
Fashion-Forward: They kept abreast of the latest trends, not only in jewellery but in fashion, art, and design, often being seen as trendsetters themselves.
-
Bold and Independent: The Art Deco era coincided with a time when women were gaining more independence, including the right to vote and greater participation in the workforce. These rings symbolised their bold spirit and willingness to embrace change.
-
Socially Active: Many women who wore Art Deco jewellery were part of the social elite, attending glamorous parties, soirées, and events where such statement pieces would shine.
-
Culturally Engaged: They were often involved in or influenced by the cultural shifts of the time, such as the Jazz Age and the rise of cinema, which celebrated modernity and new forms of artistic expression.
