You can find a long history for Art Deco Jewelry. This style of jewelry can be dated back to the mid 1920s. This type of art was inspired by the “Exposition Internationales des Arts Decoratifs and Industriels Modernes”. This movement took place in Paris, France in the mid 1920s, with the term “Art Deco” not becoming the popular term until many years later in the 1960s.

Jewelry in the Art Deco style has very few curves, but has abundant angular forms and straight lines. Starting out more delicate in its design, Art Deco jewelry moved toward the trend of blockier, bolder styled pieces termed “Art Moderne”. You can find Art Deco jewelry in many shapes. Some look like animals, including dogs, butterflies and insects, while some look like plants, leaves and floral designs. There are even some pieces of Art Deco Jewelry that are geometrical in shape. Many people who look at this type of art feel it is “abstract”, but owners of Art Deco jewelry buy it just for that reason. It is bold, daring and unique!

You will find that a main characteristic of Art Deco Jewelry is the use of bright, brilliant colors. It doesn’t matter if the jewelry is made from glass or bead materials, rhinestones or precious gems! All pieces of Art Deco Jewelry have stones of different shapes, sizes and color patterns. The brilliant colors are meant to produce a dramatic effect in the jewelry created. The varying hues of the materials are meant to complement and enhance whatever fashions are popular at the time.

Jewelry will forever excite just like it has in days gone by. Take the cave man adorned with ivory molars dangling from his neck or his mammoth tusk hanging from his waist. Then we have another fine example for finery the Indian chief sitting so brave attired in colored feathers and beads of every color of the rainbow running through his braided plaits.

It has taken millions of years for us to come to our senses and narrow down the amount of jewelry we wear. In saying that piercing of the body where you can end up looking like a voodoo doll is still very popular.
