Design Era	Mid 20th Century
Design & Historical Context	The 1950s were a time of great cultural and technological change, marked by the emergence of rock 'n' roll, the birth of the "Beat" Generation, the launch of Sputnik, and the beginning of the space race. These events, and the knowledge that the world was living in a nuclear age, contributed to the development of an aesthetic known as the "Atomic Age," which was reflected in various aspects of design, including jewelry. In 1947, Christian Dior introduced a new look in fashion that brought back a more feminine silhouette, rejecting the somber styles that had been popular during wartime. This new look, featuring a fitted bodice and décolleté neckline atop a full skirt flowing out from a tight-fitted waistline, called for a revised design aesthetic for the jewelry and accessories that accompanied it. Jewelry during this time was characterized by a trend towards more elaborate and ornate pieces, with the phrase "the more the merrier" seeming to apply. To complete this elegant and stylish look, diamonds set in platinum were often worn across the feminine décolletage and on the ears, which were newly revealed by upswept hair held in place by diamond clips. The DeBeers Diamond Corporation ensured that the demand for diamonds would not wane with their "A Diamond is Forever" campaign, which promoted the use of diamonds at all income levels, particularly the rapidly growing middle class. They also cleverly awarded prizes to jewelers worldwide who incorporated beauty, design, function, and diamonds into their modern compositions.
Key Materials	Lapis-Lazulis
Materials & Craftsmanship	Lapis-Lazulis Lapis lazuli is a deep blue gemstone that is made up of several different minerals, including lazurite, sodalite, nosalite, and hauyne. It is known for its beautiful cobalt blue color, which is often flecked with patches of pyrite (a golden-colored mineral) and calcite (a white mineral). Lapis lazuli has been used for centuries as a precious gemstone and as a source of pigment for paints and dyes. It was especially popular in the Middle East and Europe during the Middle Ages, and was used to create the ultramarine pigment that was prized by artists for its rich, vibrant color. Lapis lazuli is found in a few different locations around the world, including Afghanistan, Chile, and Russia. The most famous source of lapis lazuli is Afghanistan, where it has been mined for thousands of years. In fact, the rock was already known to Marco Polo in the 13th century, and it is mentioned in the Bible as a valuable stone. In addition to its use in jewelry and art, lapis lazuli is also believed to have various healing properties and is often used in traditional medicine. It is thought to have calming and balancing effects, and is sometimes used in meditation practices. 14k 14k gold is a popular choice for use in jewelry because it is durable, yet still relatively affordable compared to higher karat golds like 18k or 24k. It is made up of 58.5% pure gold and is mixed with other metals to make it harder and more durable. 14k gold is available in a range of colors, including yellow, white, and rose, and is commonly used in a variety of jewelry pieces such as rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. One of the advantages of 14k gold is that it is more resistant to wear and tear than pure gold, which makes it suitable for everyday wear. However, it is still softer than other alloys such as stainless steel or platinum, so it may require more maintenance to keep it looking its best. Overall, 14k gold is a popular choice for those who want the look and feel of gold, but at a more affordable price point.
