The Art Deco Era is famous for being the “Gatsby” or “Roaring Twenties” Era. A lot of gorgeous and timeless designs in jewelry came out of this period. During the Art Deco Period jewelers often made jewelry upon custom order, this would often take weeks to months to completely craft by hand. Seed pearls occur naturally and were used as a decorative border, as tiny accents in small patterns, or in larger clusters woven together to make up an entire piece of jewelry. They were imported from India and China, and carried a hefty price tag due to this. Seed Pearl jewelry was used often for special occasions such as weddings, Mary Todd Lincoln received a seed pearl parure for Lincoln’s inauguration. Akoya Pearls during the Art Deco Period were extremely rare and expensive to own! These pearls were extremely elegant and highly sought after due to their stunning luster and beautiful round shape. The pearls were still very new during the Art Deco Period and usually reserved for only the richest of the rich with their incredibly expensive price. Bohemian Garnets have been mined in the Bohemian Hills of Czechoslovakia since the 16th century. These garnets reached their height of popularity in jewelry of the Victorian era to the Art Deco Era’s. Bohemian Garnet is widely coveted due to its gorgeous red hues and due to the fact that this Garnet has been depleted and no known mines exist any longer.
