About

Mid-Century Era

(1950 - 1965)
This post-war Era saw the rise of platinum once again as well as the rise of designer jewellery such as Tiffany & Co., Cartier and Van Cleef and Arpels. Post-war prosperity helped launch designers such as these into collectors’ pieces.

In a post war world, people looked toward fun and lighthearted motives such as animals, insects and flowers to keep peoples spirits up. The era was also a revival for centre stones in engagement rings, most popularly using the marquise cut with diamond.

Faux pearls and multi-strand necklaces were popular daytime wear as well as large button style earrings and wide yellow gold bracelets. Large abstract brooches were also the rage, often times worn in a group on one shoulder. This offered interest to everyday outfits as well as a polished professional office looks.

Space themes broke into the mainstream as we entered the “Atomic Age”. This inspired jewellery pieces such as brooches in the shape of spaceships and “Sputnik” rings were often seen with starbursts on the era’s most stylish.

At the same time a modernist movement began during this period. Independent studio artists set up shop producing avaunt-garde designs. These were handcrafted and in abstract forms made of silver and semi-precious stones. These pieces remain highly collectible today.

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.
