Mid 20th Century (1950 - 1970):
The 1950s era in jewellery was a vibrant celebration of post-war optimism and glamour. Designs from this decade showcased bold geometric shapes and vibrant colours, often featuring large, eye-catching gemstones like turquoise, coral, and amethyst. Pearls remained timeless, but their settings became more innovative, with intricate designs that combined them with gold and silver filigree. The popularity of Hollywood glamour influenced styles, leading to dramatic pieces that emphasised elegance and sophistication. Brooches, statement earrings, and chunky cocktail rings were all the rage, often adorned with dazzling diamonds that sparkled in the light. Art Deco elements persisted, blending with more whimsical motifs like floral designs and abstract forms. Overall, 1950s jewellery exuded a sense of fun and luxury, reflecting a cultural shift towards leisure and celebration. It was a time when accessories were not just adornments, but essential expressions of personal style and identity.
