Art Deco-inspired jewelry embodies the elegance and glamour of the Roaring Twenties, an era marked by a strong taste for luxury and modernity. This aesthetic reflects the spirit of an era when art and society were modernizing at a frenetic pace and women were acquiring a new freedom symbolized by short hair (à la garçonne) and the absence of corsets.
This period is particularly illustrated in the works of my favorite writer, F. Scott Fitzgerald, the iconic author of The Great Gatsby , which brilliantly depicts the aspirations, excesses and pleasures of American high society in the 1920s. In the novel, Gatsby is in love with Daisy, a flamboyant beauty of the Art Deco era. She sports lavish jewelry that expresses her social status while capturing the extravagant sophistication of the fashion of the time: sparkling diamonds, bold shapes and delicate pearls worn as sautoirs.
Art Deco-inspired jewelry is distinguished by its dazzling materials: colored crystals and stones, platinum-colored metal, but also enamel, jet and onyx, arranged in geometric and harmonious compositions. The jewelry pays homage to the architecture of the skyscrapers of the time and to the arts that flourished in the dynamic cities of the 1920s.
Let yourself be deduced by their brilliance and perfection!
