About

Contemporary Era

(1970 - Now)
Also referred to as the “More is More” Era. Very large-scale jewellery was starting to be produced as Pop Art and Bohemian fashions came into popularity.

Plastic became a new medium to fabricate jewellery. Other pieces were often made of other unconventional materials such as plastic or wood. Prioritizing self-expression over traditional styles and materials became the new style. Jewellery of this Era was considered “wearable art”.

As we headed into the 1980s, jewellery styles became even more extravagant and large, such as oversized hoop earrings and necklaces which were worn by women in the office with their “power suits”. With women commonly in the workplace now, purchasing jewellery for oneself became increasingly common.

Costume jewellery truly began to take centre stage during the 80s. Neon plastic jewellery was not unusual to see on the younger members of this era- especially in a large statement earring. Another staple of the 80s was cross jewellery, necklaces being the favourite.

Contemporary jewellery is something that will always be in trend, because its something that is “made in current time”.

Spinel - Magnesium Alliuminum Oxide

Although not officially identified as its own stone until 1783, it was first discovered in as early as 750-950AD. Before 1783, the stones were believed to be rubies or sapphires, often treasured by kings and emperors. One of the most notable examples of this is the “Black Prince’s Ruby”. This was a large, irregular shaped cabochon spinel in a vibrant red shade weighing 170 carats. Spinels can be found in Burma, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and various other countries around the world. Spinels come in many colours including, red, pink, orange, purple, violet, blue and a bluish green. Spinels have been adopted as an alternative birthstone for the month of August. Ranking between 7.5-8 on the Mohs hardness scale, spinels are a great option for everyday wear.
