The History
This beautiful piece comes from the Art Deco Era! The Art Deco Era is famous for being the \"Gatsby\" or \"Roaring Twenties\" Era. A lot of gorgeous and timeless designs in jewelry came out of this period.
During the Art Deco Period jewelers often made jewelry upon custom order, this would often take weeks to months to completely craft by hand.
Retro jewelry refers to pieces created in the 1940’s and 1950’s, a period during which jewelry designers were largely influenced by the changes accompanying World War II. As the name of the period suggests, these designs reflect an infusion of futuristic vision with elements inspired by preceding periods, encompassing a variety of gemstones, shapes, and materials.
Citrine is a variety of Quartz that features a golden yellow hue. While golden yellow is the more common hue of Citrine, it can also be seen with a greenish-yellow, brownish-yellow, or orange. One famous variety of Citrine is Madeira Citrine, which gets its name from the Madeira region of Spain.
