The term "Art Deco" originated in 1920's Paris, and is short for "Arts Décoratifs" – so it follows that the style is all about DECOration, decadence, and adornment. One of the most fashion-forward embodiments of the Art Deco genre is jewelry, a medium where the tenants of fine craftsmanship, geometric patterns, bright colors, and precious materials all come together – voilà!
We love the era's taste for glamour, and we have some stunning vintage Deco pieces on offer that will have you feeling like an absolute Modern Woman.
