The history of art deco jewelry designs is filled with classic inspiration and contemporary style. But, where did the name \u2018Art Deco\u2019 come from?<\/p>\n

Several events happened during the 1920s that influenced fashion and jewelry design. In 1925 the Exposition<\/em> Internationale des Arts D\u00e9coratifs<\/em> et Industriels Modernes (In English, the International Exposition<\/em> of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts) was held in Paris. This event attracted artists of every variety to display their works, and drew immense crowds. The exposition showcased all the newest styles and art forms from across the world. The new style was geometric, linear, and often recalled classical styles in an updated way. The phrase \u201cArt Deco\u201d stemmed from the name of this exposition, and was given to this new style in the 1920s.<\/p>\n

The discovery of King Tut\u2019s tomb in 1922 had a major impact on all aspects of design. Bold geometric lines and the use of gold and inlay work became very popular in jewelry after seeing the striking designs like inlaid lapis and gold in Tut\u2019s tomb.  Motifs like the stylized human form and abstracted forms from nature were incorporated into many designs.<\/p>\n

The advent of technology was another major influence on all aspects of design in the 1920s. Design such as the iconic Cartier Louis wristwatch were designed for the on-the-go timekeeping needs of aviators. Tennis and golf were popular for all genders, and sportier styles of clothes created the need for jewelry that would go with those clothes. Hefty brooches, delicate filigree, and multi-layered pearl chokers that looked appropriate with ruffled Edwardian blouses were now seemed far too old fashioned for the streamlined designs of the 1920s. Delicate platinum was still du jour, but in much more geometric lines.<\/p>\n

Engagement rings were popular in the 1920s, but the diamond solitaire did not become the universal standard until a little bit later on in history. Diamond rings were popular, maybe set with three equal sized diamonds, and other gemstones were also a common choice for an engagement ring.<\/p>\n
