Design Era	Early 20th Century
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	Pearl, Paste
Materials & Craftsmanship	Pearl Pearls are small, round, and lustrous objects that are produced by certain types of mollusks, which are invertebrate animals that belong to the phylum Mollusca. Mollusks include a wide range of species, including oysters, clams, mussels, snails, and octopuses, among others. While all mollusks have the ability to produce pearls, only a few varieties are able to create gem-quality pearls that are suitable for use in jewelry. These include the oysters that produce akoya pearls, the freshwater mussels that produce freshwater pearls, and the South Sea and Tahitian pearls, which are produced by large saltwater oysters. Pearls are formed when an irritant, such as a grain of sand or a parasite, enters the mollusk and becomes trapped inside its shell. In response to the irritant, the mollusk secretes a substance called nacre, which coats the irritant and eventually forms a pearl. The quality of a pearl is determined by a number of factors, including its size, shape, color, and luster. High-quality pearls are prized for their beauty and are used in a variety of different types of jewelry, including necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. Paste Paste is a term that is used to refer to glass when it is used as a gemstone imitation. Glass has been used to create gemstone imitations for thousands of years because it is transparent, can be colored in a wide range of colors, and can be polished to resemble many different types of gemstones. The use of paste as a gemstone imitation dates back to ancient Greek society, although glass-making had been around for much longer by that time. Glass was used to create imitations of various gemstones, including diamonds, sapphires, and rubies. The term "paste" is still used today to refer to glass imitations of gemstones, although it is less commonly used than it was in the past. 9k 9 karat gold is an alloy made up of 37.5% pure gold and 62.5% other metals, such as copper, silver, or zinc. The addition of other metals allows for the creation of gold in various colors, including yellow, white, and rose. 9 karat gold is a common choice for jewelry as it is less expensive than higher karat gold, due to the lower percentage of pure gold in the alloy. 9 karat gold is also slightly harder and more durable than pure gold, making it more resistant to scratches and dents.
