1920s

Jewellery from the 1920s embodies a striking blend of opulence and modernity, reflecting the vibrant spirit of the Roaring Twenties—a decade marked by liberation, artistic innovation, and cultural transformation. This period witnessed a dramatic departure from the elaborate and intricate styles of the Victorian and Edwardian eras, paving the way for more streamlined, geometric designs that were heavily influenced by the Art Deco movement.

During this time, pieces often showcased a dazzling array of gemstones, including rich emeralds, deep rubies, and vivid sapphires, all masterfully set in luxurious platinum or white gold. The craftsmanship was meticulous, emphasising not just beauty but also the artistry of the jeweller. The flapper era embraced bold aesthetics, with long, dangling earrings that swayed with movement, layered necklaces that cascaded down the neckline, and striking bracelets that adorned the wrists, often embellished with luminous pearls and sparkling diamonds.

Design motifs were inspired by the glamour and exuberance of jazz culture, featuring themes such as feathers, fans, and sunbursts, which symbolised the era's enthusiasm for life and self-expression. The jewellery of the 1920s transcended mere adornment; it became a powerful emblem of individuality and a celebration of newfound freedoms, encapsulating the essence of a generation eager to break away from traditional constraints and embrace a more liberated lifestyle.
