Design Era

Design & Historical Context

During the 1910s to 1950s, the design of jewelry remained creative and stylish despite being impacted by economic and military events. Jewelry fashions during this time were influenced by various parts of the world, including the Near and Far East, and featured both exotic and geometric patterns that reflected the emergence of the machine age. New York became an important center for fashion along with Paris, and European jewelry companies had the opportunity to sell to and purchase from the Indian subcontinent. Art Deco jewelry, characterized by the use of numerous gemstones, was popular during this time, and the use of gold in jewelry increased in popularity due to its lower cost compared to platinum. Jewelry design also attracted artists and designers from various fields, giving hints about the direction that the industry would take in the future.

Key Materials

Materials & Craftsmanship

Bakelite

Bakelite is a type of thermosetting plastic that was first invented by Belgian chemist Leo Baekeland in 1907. It was the first synthetic plastic that could be molded into various shapes and used in a wide range of applications.

Bakelite is made from a combination of phenol and formaldehyde, which are heated together to form a hard, durable material that is resistant to heat and electricity. This unique combination of properties made Bakelite ideal for use in electrical insulators, as well as a variety of other applications, such as handles for tools and appliances, jewelry, and even billiard balls.

Bakelite was popular throughout much of the 20th century, particularly in the early years of the century when it was used in a wide range of consumer products. Today, Bakelite is still used in some industrial applications, but it has largely been replaced by newer, more versatile plastics. However, it remains an important part of the history of plastics and the development of synthetic materials.

Silver

Silver is a white metallic element that is known for its excellent conductivity of heat and electricity. It is represented on the periodic table of elements by the symbol Ag, and it is a member of the noble metals, which are known for their excellent resistance to oxidation.

Silver is a relatively soft metal, with a hardness that is intermediate between gold and copper. It is more malleable and ductile than gold, which means that it can be easily shaped and molded into various forms. However, it is not as hard as copper, which means that it is more prone to scratches and other types of damage.

Because of its softness, silver is usually alloyed with another metal to harden it enough to maintain the desired shape and details when it is used in jewelry and other decorative objects. This helps to give it the necessary strength and durability for use in these types of applications.

Throughout history, silver has played a prominent role in the production of jewelry and objets d'art. It is prized for its beauty and versatility, and it is often used in a wide variety of different types of jewelry, including rings, earrings, pendants, and bracelets. It is also used in decorative objects, such as candlesticks, vases, and other decorative items.

Enhance the Beauty of Your Jewelry with Proper Care

Wearing your jewelry is a special way to express yourself and add a touch of personal style to any look. However, to ensure your jewelry remains in pristine condition, there are a few simple steps you need to take to keep it looking its best.

General Care Instructions:

Remove jewelry when showering or bathing, especially when at the beach, in the sea or in chlorinated water.
Avoid wearing jewelry while doing physical work such as housekeeping, gardening or exercise.
Storing your jewelry in a dry and cool place will help protect it from moisture, dirt and dust.
Keeping it away from harsh chemicals such as bleach, ammonia and chlorine will help to avoid discoloration and damage.
Cleaning your jewelry regularly with a soft cloth will help to keep it looking shiny and new.
Avoid exposing your jewelry to extreme temperatures, such as leaving it in direct sunlight or near a heater, as this can cause damage.
Handle your jewelry carefully and avoid dropping it, as this can cause the stones to loosen or the metals to scratch.
Finally, if possible, have your jewelry professionally checked and serviced. This will ensure that any potential problems are spotted and fixed before they become worse.

By following these tips, you can enjoy your precious jewelry for many years to come.
