In today’s installment of Jewelry Through The Ages, we’re exploring Retro Era jewelry, also known as Retro Modern or cocktail jewelry.
It’s not uncommon to consider something that is “Retro” as something dating back to the 1960s or 1970s. But when it comes to Retro jewelry, the time period involved goes back even further, to around the time of World War II.
Retro jewelry was first seen in France around 1935 with a collection of designs from Van Cleef & Arpels. They exhibited their collection at the 1939 World’s Fair in New York and when World War II began, those designs remained in New York.
American jewelry designers took great influence from those jewelry designs and so the style of Retro jewelry really came into effect during wartime. The angles and rigidity of Art Deco jewelry began to soften as a new style was born.
The war had an impact on jewelry production, not least because platinum and other white metals were rationed for military use. This meant that many jewelers of this age worked with gold as their metal of choice – usually a low karat gold for that matter.
Gold was sometimes mixed with alloys such as copper to create different tones of gold. Jewelers manipulated gold to create interesting textures, choosing to braid it, weave it and create filigree patterns from it.
Precious gemstones were scarce around the time of the Second World War because of the onset of economic depression. At this time, some jewelry pieces were created without gemstones – in just gold alone.
That’s not to say that no gemstones were used at all – on the contrary, jewelers looked to use cheaper gems such as Topaz and Citrine.
For those people that really wanted their jewelry designed with precious gems or metals during the war, they would usually have to supply the stones and metals themselves, perhaps by remodeling jewelry that they already had in their possession.
