About

Modern Era

(1990 - Present)
Our Era: Full of everything from Bling to Gothic. Layered necklaces, stacking rings, yellow gold, and statement pieces are just some of today’s current trends.

We begin this era off in the 90s, where religious and dark gothic themed jewellery took center stage. Matching sets became all the rage, as it was essential to match one's jewellery to the colours of their outfit. In the world of pop-culture, the "Heart of the Ocean", a stunning blue diamond necklace from the movie "Titanic", became one of the most talked about pieces of the era.

At the beginning of the 2000s, we head back into “White on White” as the preferred style of the decade. Engagement rings often displayed a princess cut diamond set in white gold. The “Bling” Era also began which meant one thing: the more diamonds, the better. Large name plate pendants coated in diamonds and heavy gold rings were often worn by celebrities.

In the 2010s, we see more of the trends we recognize today. Layered necklaces and stacking rings are just some of the more popular styles of our time. Next time you’re running errands or taking a walk, have a look at the people around you and see the jewellery of our era in action!

Opal - – Hydrated Amorphous form of Silica

There are two classes of opal: precious and common. Precious opal displays iridescence and a play of colour, whereas a common opal does not. The structure of precious opal causes it to diffract light, giving it that play of colour. Black opals are considered the rarest while the others are considered common. Opal is the official birthstone for October and ranges from a 5-6.5 on the Mohs hardness scale. It is not recommended to wear opals daily or in water as they are made up of anywhere from 3% to 21% water content.
