Art Deco Jewellery

The Art Deco era (1920s–1930s) was a bold celebration of modernity, glamour, and innovation. Born between the two world wars, it redefined jewellery design with its sharp geometry, symmetry, and luxurious use of diamonds, platinum, and vibrant gemstones. This was a time when jewellery became a statement of individuality, confidence, and style.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Art Deco in jewellery?

Vintage art deco jewellery refers to pieces created during the 1920s and 1930s, a period renowned for its bold geometric shapes, striking patterns, and luxurious style. This type of jewellery often features bright colour contrasts and designs featuring shapes like squares, rectangles, and triangles.

What was the Art Deco Era like?

Following World War I, the Art Deco era was all about celebration, living glamorously and new technology. The shape-like patterns seen in Art Deco jewellery designs represent the Machine Age and the introduction of skyscrapers, contrasting with previous jewellery trends, which were more delicate and understated.

How to identify Art Deco jewellery?

We always recommend getting your jewellery reviewed by a professional for an exact classification. There are a few pointers that signify a piece was made in the Art Deco era:

  • Geometric Designs: If the item contains lots of different shapes and has more of a ‘bold’ appearance.
  • Materials: Platinum started to be introduced by the Art Deco time. Older pieces often aren’t made from Platinum. 
  • Gemstone Cuts: Matching the design features of the era, gemstones were often cut into traditional shapes.

What jewellery was popular in the 1920s?

Often known for its ‘flapper’ associations, vintage Art Deco jewellery was just as bold and innovative as the time it originated from. Long pearl necklaces are very common to see from the Art Deco era, worn during Charleston dances. Cocktail rings, drop earrings, and bangles designed to be stacked were also popular during the Art Deco period.
