Design Era	Art Deco
Design & Historical Context	Art Deco jewelry, also known as Jazz Age jewelry, became popular in the 1920s and remained in style through the 1930s. It was named after the Exposition International des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes, a exhibition held in Paris in 1925 that was largely dedicated to the jewelry arts. This style was inspired by a variety of cultural and artistic movements, such as Oriental, African, and South American art, as well as Cubism and Fauvism. Art Deco jewelry is known for its sharp, straight lines and emphasis on modernity and the machine age. During the Art Deco era, there were significant improvements in diamond cutting techniques, which made diamonds more radiant and sparkling than ever before. This, along with increased prosperity, allowed more people to afford diamond jewelry and engagement rings. Additionally, new casting techniques made it possible to produce more intricate and detailed settings. Art Deco jewelry was not only fashionable but also reflected the social and cultural changes of the time. The bold, modern design of Art Deco jewelry reflected the liberation and empowerment of women during the 1920s and 1930s. Today, Art Deco jewelry is highly sought after by collectors and is often featured in museum exhibitions and high-end auctions.
Key Materials	Lapis-Lazulis, Marcasite (pyrite)
Materials & Craftsmanship	Lapis-Lazulis: The Stone of Wisdom and Truth Lapis Lazuli, with its deep, celestial blue color speckled with golden pyrite, is a gemstone that has captivated civilizations for thousands of years. This striking stone, often simply called "lapis," has been associated with wisdom, truth, and spiritual enlightenment. Lapis Lazuli's history is as rich as its color. In ancient Egypt, it was a favorite of the pharaohs, who used it to create stunning jewelry, amulets, and even the iconic death mask of Tutankhamun. The stone was also ground into powder to create ultramarine, a prized pigment used in some of the world’s most famous artworks, including the frescoes of the Renaissance. In jewelry, lapis lazuli is celebrated for its intense color and natural beauty. Its relative softness, with a Mohs hardness of 5 to 6, makes it ideal for carving into beads, cabochons, or intricate inlays. Lapis is often paired with gold or silver to enhance its regal appearance, making it a popular choice for statement necklaces, rings, and earrings. Lapis Lazuli is more than just a gemstone; it is a symbol of wisdom, power, and timeless elegance. Its deep blue hue and historical significance make it a captivating choice for those who seek jewelry that is both beautiful and meaningful. Marcasite (pyrite): The Gem of Timeless Elegance and Vintage Charm Marcasite, often mistakenly referred to as pyrite, is a gemstone that has captivated jewelry enthusiasts for centuries with its metallic luster and vintage appeal. Although marcasite is technically a form of pyrite, true marcasite jewelry is made from pyrite crystals that are cut and polished to create a shimmering, antique look. Historically, marcasite has been admired for its mysterious, reflective surface, often used in intricate, filigree designs during the Victorian and Art Deco periods. In the 18th and 19th centuries, it became particularly popular in Europe as a more affordable alternative to diamonds, lending an air of elegance and sophistication to brooches, rings, and other accessories. In modern jewelry, marcasite is prized for its ability to add a touch of vintage charm and drama to any piece. Its metallic, gunmetal-gray hue pairs beautifully with silver settings, and its natural sparkle makes it a standout in both understated and ornate designs. Marcasite is commonly seen in rings, earrings, pendants, and brooches, often set in sterling silver to enhance its classic, antique look. Marcasite is more than just a gemstone; it is a symbol of timeless elegance and enduring style. Its historical significance and unique, reflective quality make it a cherished choice for jewelry that exudes both character and sophistication, perfect for those who appreciate the charm of vintage-inspired designs. Silver: The Metal of Elegance and Versatility Silver, known for its bright, reflective luster, is one of the most beloved and widely used precious metals in the world. This versatile metal has been cherished for thousands of years, not only for its beauty but also for its malleability, making it ideal for crafting intricate and delicate jewelry designs. Historically, silver has been associated with the moon and considered a symbol of purity, clarity, and protection. Ancient civilizations, from the Egyptians to the Greeks and Romans, valued silver for its beauty and used it to create coins, jewelry, and religious artifacts. In many cultures, silver is also believed to have healing properties, often used in amulets and talismans to ward off negative energy. In modern jewelry, silver is prized for its affordability, versatility, and timeless appeal. Sterling silver, an alloy of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals (usually copper), is the standard used in high-quality jewelry. Its durability and bright, reflective surface make it an excellent choice for a wide range of designs, from minimalist pieces to ornate creations. Silver can be polished to a high shine or given a matte, oxidized, or antiqued finish to suit various styles. Silver is more than just a metal; it is a symbol of elegance, flexibility, and understated luxury. Its enduring popularity and wide-ranging applications make it a staple in jewelry that can complement any look, from casual to formal, with timeless grace.
