ART DECO RESURGENCE

February 26th, 2013

These pieces of jewelry are reminiscent of the 1920s in that the silhouettes were heavily influenced by the angular geometric styles of the Art Deco period.

Streamlined and stunning, they turn simplicity into an art. It’s easy to see the appeal of the art deco aesthetic that has lasted throughout the last 100 years!

From left: 1940s Art Deco Earrings – stunning! These vintage earrings date back 70 years, but remain modern due to its simple geometric lines so evocative of the art deco period. Various geometric shapes are stacked one on top of the other, culminating in a little black oval stone that sits on top, creating a 3D effect. http://shop.grannysdayout.com/eshop/product.php?id=451&s=4&b=0

Middle: Her Glam Glitteriness – These simple earrings are chic, and not too flashy due to their relatively small size. With two black enamel panels flanking each side of a middle glittery section, it brings to mind the luxury and glamour of the 1980s. http://shop.grannysdayout.com/eshop/product.php?id=451&s=4&b=0

Right: Red Door Knocker Pendant – This lovely pendant comes in a resplendent luscious red enamel, and reminds us somewhat of a simple door knocker! There is even a hinge that allows the lower red bit to swivel front and back like one! Very cute, and would go with a great many things. http://shop.grannysdayout.com/eshop/product.php?id=452&s=4&b=0
