About

Contemporary Era

(1970 - Now)

Also referred to as the “More is More” Era. Large-scale jewellery started being produced as Pop Art and Bohemian fashions came into popularity.

Unconventional materials such as plastic and wood became the new medium of fabricating jewellery. Further, prioritizing self-expression over traditional styles and materials became increasingly popular. Jewellery of the Contemporary Era was labelled as “wearable art”.

As we headed into the 1980s, jewellery styles became even more extravagant, with women donning oversized hoop earrings and chunky necklaces. As it became more common to see women in the workplace, the demand for purchasing "work wear" jewellery increased as well.

Costume jewellery truly began to take center stage during the 80s. With maximalism in full force, plastic jewellery was bright, eye-catching, and a cost-effective way to express individuality.

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

Pearl - Calcium Carbonate

Developed inside the soft tissue of a living shelled mollusk, pearls are hard and lustrous. Pearls were first used in jewellery in 420 BC. Although round is considered the preferred shape, these iridescent gems come in a multitude of silhouettes. There are four main cultured pearl varieties. Akoya pearls are white or cream saltwater pearls with undertones of pink and/or green. Tahitian pearls are also saltwater pearls and range in colour from eggplant purple, peacock green, metallic grey, and greyish blue. They are found in Tahiti and generally range from 7-12mm in size. South Sea pearls are saltwater pearls that can come in a variety of silver, white, or golden hues and are commonly sourced along the northwest coast of Australia. Ranging from 8-16mm, South Sea pearls can reach up to 20mm! Freshwater pearls are typically cultured in lakes and ponds and come in a wide range of shapes, sizes and colours. Pearl is the birthstone for June and ranks between 2.5-4.5 on the Mohs hardness scale.
