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	Diamond
Materials & Craftsmanship	Old-european-cut diamond: The Vintage Sparkle of Classic Romance Old European-cut diamonds are a beloved choice for those who appreciate vintage elegance and timeless beauty. This diamond cut, which was predominant from the late 19th century through the early 20th century, is known for its round shape, high crown, small table, and large, open culet. These characteristics give the stone a soft, romantic sparkle that evokes the charm of a bygone era. Historically, the Old European cut was the precursor to the modern round brilliant cut. It was crafted by hand, with each facet carefully shaped to maximize the diamond's brilliance under the softer lighting conditions of the time, such as candlelight. This cut was popular during the Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Deco periods, making it a favorite in antique and vintage jewelry. In modern jewelry, Old European-cut diamonds are highly sought after for their unique sparkle and historical significance. They often exhibit a warmer, more subdued brilliance compared to modern cuts, with an emphasis on depth and fire rather than the bright flashes of light seen in contemporary diamonds. This makes them ideal for engagement rings, earrings, and other pieces that celebrate vintage style and craftsmanship. An Old European-cut diamond is more than just a gemstone; it is a piece of history, reflecting the elegance and romance of the past. Its distinctive charm and enduring beauty make it a perfect choice for those who appreciate the artistry and nostalgia of vintage jewelry. Platinum: The Metal of Endurance and Prestige Platinum, a rare and precious metal, is renowned for its exceptional strength, purity, and enduring beauty. With its naturally white luster and remarkable resistance to tarnish and corrosion, platinum has become synonymous with luxury and durability in the world of fine jewelry. Historically, platinum has been valued for its rarity and unique properties. Ancient Egyptians and Pre-Columbian civilizations used platinum in their ceremonial jewelry, though its full potential wasn’t realized until the 18th century. By the 20th century, platinum became the metal of choice for royalty and high society, particularly in engagement rings and fine jewelry, due to its ability to securely hold precious gemstones. In modern jewelry, platinum is highly prized for its hypoallergenic properties and its ability to withstand daily wear without losing its brilliance. Its density and weight give it a luxurious feel, while its purity—often 95% pure—makes it an ideal setting for diamonds and other gemstones. Platinum's naturally white sheen enhances the sparkle of gems, and its durability ensures that jewelry pieces crafted in platinum can be passed down through generations. Platinum is more than just a metal; it is a symbol of strength, rarity, and timeless elegance. Its unmatched durability and sophisticated appearance make it the ultimate choice for those seeking jewelry that lasts a lifetime while maintaining its prestige and beauty.
