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”.

Tourmaline - Silicate Mineral

Tourmalines come in a wide variety of colours. Some stones may even have two colours, making them Bi-colour. Shades include colourless to brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, violet, pink, and any hues in-between. Paraiba Tourmalines are the most rare and expensive variety. Discovered in 1989, these tourmalines are some of the world’s most prized gemstones. They are known for their intense, almost neon blue colour. Tourmaline can be used as an alternate birthstone for the month of October. Tourmalines range from 7-7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale.
