In the early 1880s to 1910, Art Nouveau was a response to rapid technological advancements and mass production brought by Industrial Revolution. Hence, artisans favoured organic forms and undulating curves that highlight humanity’s connection to nature.
But, deprivation during the onset of World War I made the Art Deco aesthetic prevail in the era. Several elements influenced this style, such as the excavation of King Tut’s tomb and the introduction of the Ballet Russes. These events became the background that gave Art Deco its inimitable style.
Clean lines, symmetrical and geometric patterns were favoured as it allowed women to boldly express themselves during the golden age. Sleek platinum combined with Diamonds and cubist geometry jewellery designs were embraced during this time.
To commemorate an avant-garde era in the history of jewellery, Jacobs the Jewellers features an Art Deco-inspired jewellery for October. Take a peek to this exquisite piece as the award-winning Reading jeweller celebrate its 70th anniversary.
