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”.

Garnet - Silicate Minerals

Although the red variety of garnet is the most familiar, they can be found in other colours such as orange, brown, yellow, pink and blue. Rare green garnets are known as Tsavorites and were only introduced to non-mineral specialists in 1974 when famous jewellery company Tiffany & Co held a marketing campaign, bringing the stone to the public. Garnets were first discovered around 3100 BC in the Nile Delta in Egypt. A variety of garnets can be found across the world. Garnet is the traditional birthstone for January and ranks between 7-7.5 on the Mohs hardness scale.
