Retro Era Jewelry (1935-1950)
Retro jewelry, popular from the 1930s to the 1950s, is characterized by bold, glamorous designs and the use of multi-colored gold in yellow, rose, and green. Known for its chunky, oversized styles, Retro jewelry often features large, sculptural shapes, including bows, scrolls, and fan motifs, reflecting the optimistic and daring spirit of the post-war era.
Colorful gemstones like citrine, aquamarine, and rubies were popular, adding vibrant accents to the pieces, while synthetic stones were sometimes used due to wartime resource limitations. Retro jewelry combines elegance with Hollywood-inspired drama, making it a standout choice for those who appreciate vintage luxury and bold design.
