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”.

Topaz - Silicate Mineral

While Blue is often the first colour that comes to mind when thinking about Topaz, it is actually one of the rarest naturally forming colours. Topaz is colourless in its natural state, often with a greyish cast to it. Rarely, it can occur as a golden brown to yellow. The blue we have come to associate with topaz comes from the stone being heat treated and irradiated. Topaz is believed to be first discovered in Germany in 1737, and then again in 1740s Brazil. Now blue topaz is most notable for being the birthstone of December. It ranks 8 on the Mohs hardness scale.
