The era we know as “Art Deco” received its moniker from Exposition International des Arts Decoratifs et Industrials Moderns, held in Paris in 1925, which was largely dedicated to the jewellery arts. Emphasis was placed on the association of art and modern industry. Inspiration for this style was as far reaching as Oriental, African and South American Art and as varied as Cubism and Fauvism, both popular movements at the time.

The term “Cubism” was often used to describe jewellery of this era because of the angles, geometric lines and figurative representations used in its execution. A desire to eliminating seemingly ornament, resulted in the cleaner and more rigid lines employed in Art Deco jewellery. A look forward toward modernism and the machine age also featured prominently at this juncture in jewellery history.
