Design Era

Design & Historical Context

The jewelry industry was significantly impacted by the onset of World War II in the 1940s. Precious metals, particularly platinum, became scarce and in some cases were even banned from being sold. Palladium was used as a substitute for platinum in the war effort. In order to make the most of the limited supply of gold, a low karat gold alloy with a higher percentage of copper was used. This resulted in gold with a subtle, reddish hue, but through the use of different alloys, gold was able to appear in a range of colors within a single piece. Gold was also manipulated in various ways, such as being woven, braided, and coiled. Techniques like resilla, cannetille, and lacy filigree patterns reappeared in jewelry. Different textures were also used within a single design, with matte finishes being placed next to bright finishes to accentuate the design. Gold became the primary metal used in jewelry during the 1940s and 1950s.

Materials & Craftsmanship

Peridot: The Gem of Light and Renewal

Peridot, with its vibrant green hue, is a gemstone that symbolizes light, renewal, and growth. This stunning gem is one of the few gemstones that occur in only one color, ranging from a yellowish-green to a deep olive, depending on the amount of iron within the crystal structure. Peridot is a type of olivine and is formed deep within the Earth’s mantle, often brought to the surface by volcanic activity.

Historically, peridot has been revered for its protective qualities. The ancient Egyptians called it the "gem of the sun," believing it could ward off evil spirits and bring the wearer happiness and peace. Peridot was also highly valued in ancient Rome, where it was worn as a talisman for protection and was thought to bring good fortune.

In modern jewelry, peridot is celebrated for its fresh, lively color and its ability to brighten any design. With a Mohs hardness of 6.5 to 7, peridot is durable enough for everyday wear, making it a popular choice for rings, necklaces, and earrings. Its bright green color pairs beautifully with gold and silver, adding a touch of warmth and vibrancy to any piece.

Peridot is more than just a gemstone; it is a symbol of positivity, renewal, and the enduring beauty of nature. Its radiant green hue and rich historical significance make it a joyful and elegant choice for jewelry that inspires and uplifts.

Single-cut diamond: The Classic Sparkle of Timeless Elegance

Single-cut diamonds are a classic and elegant choice in the world of fine jewelry, known for their understated yet captivating sparkle. Unlike modern brilliant-cut diamonds, which typically have 58 facets, single-cut diamonds have fewer facets—usually 17 or 18—resulting in a simpler, more traditional appearance.

Historically, single-cut diamonds were among the earliest diamond cuts used in jewelry, dating back to the 14th century. This cut was popular in vintage and antique jewelry, especially during the Victorian and Edwardian eras. The fewer facets of a single-cut diamond create a subtle, soft brilliance, which adds a touch of old-world charm and sophistication to any piece.

In modern jewelry, single-cut diamonds are often used as accent stones in pavé settings, vintage-inspired designs, and delicate pieces where a more refined sparkle is desired. Their simplicity makes them an excellent choice for adding a touch of elegance without overwhelming the overall design.

Single-cut diamonds are more than just a gemstone choice; they are a nod to timeless beauty and classic craftsmanship. Their subtle sparkle and historical significance make them a perfect option for those who appreciate the charm of vintage and antique-inspired jewelry.

14k: The Durable Choice for Everyday Elegance

14k gold is a popular and practical choice in fine jewelry, known for its durability, affordability, and beautiful color. The "14k" signifies that the gold is composed of 58.3% pure gold and 41.7% alloyed metals, such as copper, silver, nickel, or zinc. This combination results in a strong and resilient material that can withstand the rigors of daily wear, making it an ideal option for those seeking both beauty and durability.

Historically, gold has always been a symbol of wealth and luxury, and 14k gold strikes a perfect balance between the rich appearance of gold and the strength needed for everyday use. Because of its lower gold content compared to 18k or 24k gold, 14k gold is more affordable, making it a popular choice for a wide range of jewelry pieces.

In modern jewelry, 14k gold is appreciated for its versatility and variety. It is available in several colors, each achieved by mixing gold with different metals:

Yellow Gold: A classic and timeless choice, 14k yellow gold has a warm, golden hue that complements most skin tones and is well-suited for both modern and traditional designs.

White Gold: Created by alloying gold with white metals like nickel or palladium, 14k white gold has a sleek, silver-like appearance. It is often rhodium-plated for added shine and is a popular choice for engagement rings and other contemporary jewelry.

Rose Gold: Achieved by mixing gold with copper, 14k rose gold has a soft, pinkish hue that has gained popularity for its romantic and vintage appeal. It is a favorite for those seeking a unique and stylish alternative to traditional gold colors.

14k gold is commonly used in a wide array of jewelry, including rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and watches. Its durability makes it especially suitable for pieces that are worn daily, such as wedding bands and engagement rings, where the balance between strength and beauty is crucial.

14k gold is more than just a practical choice; it is a symbol of enduring style and everyday luxury. Its ability to retain the look of gold while offering greater resistance to scratches and dents makes 14k gold a versatile and timeless option for any jewelry collection. Whether in a simple band or an elaborate design, 14k gold offers a perfect blend of elegance and durability that can be enjoyed for years to come.
