About

Modern Era

(1990 - Present)

Our Era: Full of everything from Bling to Gothic. Layered necklace, stacking rings, yellow gold and pieces that make a flashy statement are just some of today’s current trends. 

Starting off the 90s with religious themed jewellery and dark gothic themes. Matching sets also made a comeback- it was essential to match your jewellery colours to your outfit. One of the most famous pieces of jewellery from this period was the “Heart of the Ocean” from the film Titanic.

At the beginning of the 2000s, we head back into “White on White” as the preferred style. Engagement rings were often seen with a Princess cut diamond set in white gold. The “Bling” Era also began. The more diamonds, the better. Large name plate pendants coated in diamonds as well as diamond encrusted rings are often worn by rappers and influencers.

In the 2010s, we start to see more of the trends we recognize today. Layered necklaces and stacking rings are some of the most popular styles of our time. Next time you’re running errands or taking a walk have a look at the people around you and see the jewellery of our era in action!

Pearl - Calcium Carbonate

Developed inside the soft tissue of a living shelled mollusk, pearls are hard and lustrous. First used as jewellery in 420 BC, the sarcophagus of a Persian Princess from that time was found wearing a fragment of pearl jewellery. Although round is considered the preferred shape, pearls come in a multitude of silhouettes. Baroque pearls are irregular, non-spherically shaped and make up most of the cultured freshwater pearls we find today. There are four main cultured pearl varieties. Akoya pearls are saltwater pearls that are white or cream with some hints of pink and green. Tahitian pearls are saltwater pearls that range in colour from eggplant purple, peacock green, metallic grey and greyish blue. They are found in Tahiti and generally range from 7-12mm. South Sea pearls are saltwater pearls that can come in a variety of silver, white or golden and are commonly sourced along the northwest coast of Australia. Ranging from 8-16mm, they have been known to 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.
