Jewellery in the 1920s changed to simplicity and art deco “modernism” in all styles from rings to necklaces, and bracelets. The fussy Art Nouveau styles, the pressures of society to wear your wealth and expensive precious stones were no longer in fashion. It was all about cheap semi precious stones and fake plastics. This was a drastic change from the wealth driven society before WW1 and one that forever changed the jewellery industry. The design was no longer determined by the cost of the materials. In the 1920’s jewellery was more dress up.
