Jewelry from this period was most often crafted between 1920 and 1940. Art Deco jewelry sometimes featured white gold or platinum, geometric designs, European cut diamonds, filigree, and calibre cut stones that are specifically cut to fit the design of the piece. During the Art Deco period jewelers often made jewelry upon custom order, this would often take weeks to months to completely craft by hand. Butterscotch and Egg Yolk ambers are rare varieties of organic fossilized resin found in Northern Europe. During the Victorian and Art Deco eras, these stones were highly prized above Baltic ambers for their opaque, rich yellow colors. Riviere is a style where individually mounted gemstones and glass stones, are attached in rows or strands, creating a continuous and elegant design. Stones are often faceted and set in open back settings, allowing light to reflect throughout the stones. Riviere means “river” in French, and refers to the flowing style of this design, much like that of a river. This style gained popularity during the Georgian era and is still very fashionable today.
