The Art Deco era is famous for being the “Gatsby” or “Roaring Twenties” era. A lot of gorgeous and timeless designs in jewelry came out of this period. Jewelry from this period was most often crafted between 1920 and 1940. Art Deco jewelry sometimes featured white gold or platinum, geometric designs, European cut diamonds, filigree, and calibre cut stones that are specifically cut to fit the design of the piece. During the Art Deco period jewelers often made jewelry upon custom order, this would often take weeks to months to completely craft by hand. Peking glass originated in 17th century Peking China, when Jesuit missionaries introduced modern glass-making techniques from Italy and became popular during the 18th century. This glass usually has one base color and then is covered by multiple colored glass layers, allowing a textured design when carved. Although originally used for making glass snuff bottles, Peking glass is used in many applications today, including jewelry.
