The Art Deco period lasted from
1915 to 1935, although the term was first used in reference to the 1925
International Exposition of Modern Industrial and Decorative Arts held in
Paris. This was a period of transition from Art Nouveau and was inspired by the
art and architecture of the Native Americans, ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and
Romans. This is one of the most highly sought-after jewelry styles, as
evidenced by auction results.
Characteristics
of jewelry from this period include:
- Geometric designs
- Diverse combinations of color
- Abstract patterns
