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”.

Ruby - Corundum

Known as the stone of passion, many cultures use rubies as a sign of love and commitment. Rubies can be found in 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/or an alternative to a diamond for an engagement ring.
