Exploring the Timeless Glamour of Art Deco Jewelry

Art Deco jewelry from the 1920s and 1930s is all about bold elegance and luxury. With its geometric designs, bright colors, and fancy materials, it reflects the lavish lifestyle of that era. For Sayabling customers who love fashion, Art Deco pieces are not just beautiful they’re timeless accessories that add glamour to any outfit. 

What is Art Deco?

Art Deco started in France before World War I and became popular in the 1920s. It was all about embracing modernity, new tech, and luxury in art, architecture, and design. The name came from the 1925 Paris exhibition that highlighted this style.

Art Deco is known for its symmetry, geometric shapes, and vibrant colors, spreading quickly to architecture, fashion, and especially jewelry.

Signature Features of Art Deco Jewelry

The allure of Art Deco jewelry lies in its unique characteristics that set it apart from other styles. Here are some hallmarks of this stunning design aesthetic that are key features of Sayabling collection:

1. Geometric Shapes

Art Deco jewelry is characterized by clean lines and shapes like rectangles, triangles, zigzags, and chevrons. These designs typically emphasize symmetry and repetition, creating a balanced and dynamic look for each piece.

In Art Deco jewelry, vibrant color combinations are key, often paired with black-and-white elements. Gemstones such as sapphires, emeralds, rubies, and diamonds are blended for a dazzling effect. Popular choices like black onyx, coral, and turquoise add a striking contrast and a burst of color to these pieces.
