What is the difference between Edwardian and Art Deco jewelry?
1 Answer
There are many differences between Edwardian and Art Deco jewelry. Antique Edwardian jewelry is named for King Edward VII of Great Britain, who ruled from 1901 until 1910, while the Art Deco period emerged later. Jewelry created in the Art Deco style was made during the 1920s and ’30s. During the Edwardian era, pearls were more valuable than diamonds, and jewelry was all about the exquisite diamond, platinum and pearl creations made by such famous names as Cartier and Boucheron. Cartier also created some of the most iconic jewelry designs that defined Art Deco, an era that saw designers drawing on Egyptian adornment and African art, and accessories featuring jade, lapis lazuli, coral, turquoise and other bright gemstones became all the rage.
