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”.

Ruby - Corundum

Known as the stone of passion, many cultures use rubies as a sign of love and commitment. Rubies can be found in many places such as Australia, Sri Lanka, Thailand and the United States- however the finest and most sought-after rubies come from Burma (Myanmar). Rubies are the birthstone for July. They rank 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, making them a great everyday stone and an alternative to a diamond for an engagement ring.
