Design Era	Early 20th Century
Design & Historical Context	During the 1910s to 1950s, the design of jewelry remained creative and stylish despite being impacted by economic and military events. Jewelry fashions during this time were influenced by various parts of the world, including the Near and Far East, and featured both exotic and geometric patterns that reflected the emergence of the machine age. New York became an important center for fashion along with Paris, and European jewelry companies had the opportunity to sell to and purchase from the Indian subcontinent. Art Deco jewelry, characterized by the use of numerous gemstones, was popular during this time, and the use of gold in jewelry increased in popularity due to its lower cost compared to platinum. Jewelry design also attracted artists and designers from various fields, giving hints about the direction that the industry would take in the future.
Key Materials	Diamond, Ruby
Materials & Craftsmanship	Ruby: The Gem of Passion and Nobility Ruby, with its fiery red color, is one of the most coveted gemstones in the world, symbolizing passion, power, and nobility. This precious gem belongs to the corundum family, with its striking red hue derived from trace amounts of chromium. Rubies can range in color from deep crimson to vibrant red, often referred to as "pigeon’s blood," the most prized shade. Throughout history, rubies have been revered as symbols of wealth and power. In ancient India, they were called the "king of gemstones" and were believed to protect warriors in battle. In medieval Europe, rubies were thought to bring good fortune, enhance love, and maintain health. Royals and aristocrats adorned themselves with rubies to signify their status and strength. In modern jewelry, rubies are celebrated for their durability and brilliance, with a Mohs hardness of 9, second only to diamonds. This makes them ideal for rings, necklaces, earrings, and other pieces designed for everyday wear. Rubies are often set in gold or platinum, where their vibrant color is showcased to its full potential, adding a touch of luxury and elegance to any design. Ruby is more than just a gemstone; it is a symbol of intense emotion, passion, and enduring strength. Its rich color and historical significance make it a timeless and powerful choice for jewelry that speaks of love, courage, and grandeur. 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.
