Design Era	Retro
Design & Historical Context	The jewelry industry was significantly impacted by the onset of World War II in the 1940s. Precious metals, particularly platinum, became scarce and in some cases were even banned from being sold. Palladium was used as a substitute for platinum in the war effort. In order to make the most of the limited supply of gold, a low karat gold alloy with a higher percentage of copper was used. This resulted in gold with a subtle, reddish hue, but through the use of different alloys, gold was able to appear in a range of colors within a single piece. Gold was also manipulated in various ways, such as being woven, braided, and coiled. Techniques like resilla, cannetille, and lacy filigree patterns reappeared in jewelry. Different textures were also used within a single design, with matte finishes being placed next to bright finishes to accentuate the design. Gold became the primary metal used in jewelry during the 1940s and 1950s.
Materials & Craftsmanship	Silver: The Metal of Elegance and Versatility Silver, known for its bright, reflective luster, is one of the most beloved and widely used precious metals in the world. This versatile metal has been cherished for thousands of years, not only for its beauty but also for its malleability, making it ideal for crafting intricate and delicate jewelry designs. Historically, silver has been associated with the moon and considered a symbol of purity, clarity, and protection. Ancient civilizations, from the Egyptians to the Greeks and Romans, valued silver for its beauty and used it to create coins, jewelry, and religious artifacts. In many cultures, silver is also believed to have healing properties, often used in amulets and talismans to ward off negative energy. In modern jewelry, silver is prized for its affordability, versatility, and timeless appeal. Sterling silver, an alloy of 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% other metals (usually copper), is the standard used in high-quality jewelry. Its durability and bright, reflective surface make it an excellent choice for a wide range of designs, from minimalist pieces to ornate creations. Silver can be polished to a high shine or given a matte, oxidized, or antiqued finish to suit various styles. Silver is more than just a metal; it is a symbol of elegance, flexibility, and understated luxury. Its enduring popularity and wide-ranging applications make it a staple in jewelry that can complement any look, from casual to formal, with timeless grace.
