Design Era	Vintage
Design & Historical Context	Vintage jewelry refers to jewelry that was produced a certain number of years ago, typically at least 20 years or more. It is often characterized by its unique style, craftsmanship, and use of materials that are no longer in production or are hard to find. Vintage jewelry can be made from a wide variety of materials, including gold, silver, platinum, and diamonds, as well as less precious materials such as costume jewelry or Bakelite. It can be influenced by a variety of styles and movements, including Art Deco, Art Nouveau, and Retro. One of the key features of vintage jewelry is its uniqueness and individuality. Unlike modern jewelry, which is often mass-produced, vintage jewelry is often one-of-a-kind or part of a limited production run. This makes it highly collectible and sought after by collectors and vintage enthusiasts. Vintage jewelry is often associated with a sense of history and nostalgia, and it can be a way to connect with the past and appreciate the craftsmanship and artistry of earlier periods. It is highly collectible and can be found at vintage stores, antique shops, and online marketplaces.
Key Materials	Onyx
Materials & Craftsmanship	Onyx Onyx is a type of chalcedony, which is a variety of quartz that is characterized by its fine grain and layered structure. Onyx is most commonly found in black and white bands, and it is known for its unique color pattern and ability to be carved into intricate designs. Onyx has been used for centuries as a gemstone and has been prized for its beauty and versatility. It was especially popular in ancient times, when it was used to create cameos, which are small, carved gemstones that feature a raised design on a background of a different color. The layered structure of onyx made it especially well-suited for this purpose, as it allowed the engraver to cut the design in one color while creating a background of another color. The term "onyx" is sometimes used to describe pure black gemstones, but this is technically incorrect. True onyx is always banded, with alternating layers of black and white (or sometimes other colors). Gemstones that are solid black are usually made of other materials, such as obsidian or black jade. In addition to its use in jewelry, onyx is also used in various decorative objects and as a material for carving and engraving. It is a relatively hard and durable stone, and it is often used in jewelry and other decorative items that are subjected to wear and tear. 18k 18k gold is a type of gold alloy that is commonly used in jewelry making. It is made up of 75% gold and 25% other metals, such as copper, silver, or palladium. The addition of other metals helps to increase the durability and strength of the gold, making it more suitable for use in jewelry. 18k gold is softer and more prone to scratching than higher karat golds, such as 22k or 24k, but it is still a popular choice for jewelry because of its warm, yellow color and good resistance to tarnishing. It is also less expensive than higher karat golds due to the smaller amount of gold used in the alloy. 18k gold is a popular choice for engagement rings, wedding bands, and other fine jewelry items.
