Contemporary Era
(1970 - Now)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”.
