Art Deco Jewellery Trends

What was the type of jewelry that was so famous during the 1920s and 1930s ?and how is the jewelry different than we have now? There were different art deco jewellery trends and styles that were used in the design of the jewelry, starting from the rings and ending with the necklaces. The fussy Art Nouveau styles were one of the best and were intended for the nature loving people. They included precious stones that were very expensive. In that time, to wear the jewelry was something very important and it had to fit with the outfit. There was a drastic change that happened in the jewelry industry after World War I, so since then the jewelry was not based on the function, but more to the cost of the materials from which was made. The attention was more on the design than to the value, so there was a suggestion to make the jewelry with better decorative qualities.

Vintage jewelry

The vintage style from the 20s was the most iconic style in that period. The most popular necklaces were called flapper necklaces and were very long. They could be worn in a single strand and they varied from 60 inches and more. The long pearl necklaces were also in fashion and the longer they were, the better. The shorter pearls become more popular over the coming decades, but rarely seen in 1930s jewellery .

There was also faceted bead long necklace that was also popular in that time. The most popular gemstone in art deco jewellery would have to be diamonds. It was not important if the necklace is matching your outfit, they were in fashion at the time. The plastic jewelry being affordable for anyone, was also quite commonly seen in this period.

Other types of necklaces

The tassel bead necklace was also hugely popular and was worn hanging low. It is long necklace that was usually worn with low opening dress at the front, so it suits the whole outfit. These beautiful long flowing flapper necklaces were designed to swing from side to side as the wearer danced the night away.

The design of the earrings

The popular art deco designs of the 1920s and 1930s, were the drop earrings. They worked well with either long or short hair and they moved beautifully to the fast dancing which became iconic of the roaring twenties. There is no better way to draw attention than with big diamonds set in a filigree design of platinum. These earrings came in strong geometric and Egyptian styles and are as popular today as they were nearly 100 years ago.

Rings

There were different types of rings, filigree casings around diamonds or other precious gemstones. But with diamonds be the most popular. Oval, rectangle or square cut gems were commonly used and normally set in platinum.

Conclusion

The style from this period was very unique with bold strong lines and geometric patterns. It is a style which will remain in demand with jewellery lovers.
