Jewellery Periods – Art Deco Jewellery (1925-1935)

One of my favourite historical styles is 1920s Art Deco jewellery, also known as “Style Moderne” or simply “Deco”. The movement became a major force in European and US design until the late 1930s, responding to people’s need for a new way to express themselves. 

Today, this fascinating time is remembered mostly for its flashy Jazz music and flappers who wore short skirts, bobbed their hair, and flaunted their disdain for what was then considered acceptable behaviour. But it’s also known for its dazzlingly bold jewellery styles, a nod to the novelty and glamour of the Roaring Twenties.

Let’s take a trip back in time and explore the extraordinary beauty of this vintage art period, which has remained a favourite amongst collectors and enthusiasts for nearly a century.
