Edwardian Style
Jewellery in this style focuses on motifs such as bows, ribbons, and sporting events. Edwardian pieces are also light and delicate, and often showcase diamonds; however they do also on occasion use precious stones such as emeralds, rubies, and sapphires.
The Art Deco Era
Rising in a time when feminism rejected conservative views on femininity, the Art Deco era ignited radical wardrobe change for fashion that blended glamour with luxury. Jewellery in this style has clear influences from art movements such as cubism; however it also has notes of Asian and Middle Eastern architectural influence.
The Retro-Modern Design
During the Second World War, the realities modern conflict led to a serious, sombre, and austere style of clothing; as such jewellery was designed to offset this. Retro-Modern jewellery is big, filled with colour, and at many times playful in nature. Brooches became very popular, with bows, flowers, and butterflies being especially common among women.
Also, another key aspect of retro-modern jewellery is the use of semi-precious stones. During this time, jewellery was designed to be less expensive than older styles. Instead of using expensive gems like diamonds, emeralds, or sapphires, jewellers used cheaper stones like citrine or aquamarine. They put these stones in eye-catching designs with strong shapes and mixed gold colours.
Modern Jewellery
Starting in the mid ‘60s and continuing well into the ‘80s, the modern period of jewellery used a lot of abstract gold jewellery with organic shapes. Jewellers would ‘borrow’ styles, techniques, and designs from other cultures to add to their own which resulted in a bohemian and multicultural feel to the style.
As the years progressed modern jewellery would reflect cultural changes in society too. In the ‘80s more and more women were entering the workplace and fashion items such as shoulder pads became popular, ‘less is more’ was dropped and set aside for an era of ‘more is more’ with large necklaces, large earrings, and who can forget, the power suit.
