Art Deco Tourmaline

In 1925, when L'Exposition Internationale des Arts Decoratifs et Industriels Modernes opened in Paris, art deco was born. Deco - which lasted until the second world war in 1939 - saw grand revolutions in building and architecture, in fine arts, advertising, posters, crafts, and industrial design. Fast, bold, oversized, and unique - the Museum of Jewelry's reproduction deco jewelry characterizes the best of the era.

Our art deco jewelry collection prominently features bold combination's exploring combinations of shape and color. The use of pearls and enamel is abundant.

The present resurgence of deco designs is only one of many such happenings - both the '60s and the '80s saw similar revivals. Art deco might be said to come in popularity and never go - as an era its stylistic tendencies are continually and forever reborn.
