art deco beauty


Art Deco Evening Watch

The Art Deco style is named after the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes of 1925. Its popularity extended through the 1930s from Europe to the United States, and was applied by artists and architects to a wide variety of media. The aesthetic focused on simple forms, often geometric or stylized from nature, smooth lines, and bold colors. Art Deco jewelry favored geometrical compositions with little surface decoration and strong color contrasts integrating large gemstones.
