The most popular jewelry in 1920

“Big girls need big diamonds. ” - Elizabeth Taylor.1920 was a golden age, when

industry and technology began to develop all over the world. Countries and countries

trade with each other, and people's dress has also absorbed the styles of different

regions.These various styles and dresses formed the unique fashion of 1920.Fashion

is a popular style for a period of time, highlighting clothing, lifestyle, jewelry, makeup

and hairstyle. The jewelry of 1920 is the richest in history.

In the 1920s, jewelry styles turned to the "modernism" of simplicity and artistic

decoration. Among them, the long pearl necklace is the most iconic representative in

the 1920s. But not all pearl necklaces are long. According to Tracy Tolkin.()At the

beginning of the 20th century, longer pearl necklaces were popular, but as time went

on, the length of pearl necklaces became shorter. In addition to long pearl necklaces,

long pearl necklaces and fringed pearl necklaces are also very popular. Various

well-known production companies at that time were Chanel, Trufax Jewelry Company

and so on.

Earrings were also a jewelry of great interest at that time. Short hair and round hats

were popular in 1920, and women's necks were bare.They want people to notice their

necks, so dangling earrings are more popular. They are usually 2-3 inches long

columns. (The 1920’s--- Kathleen Morgan Drowne, Patrick Huber, Associate Professor

of History Patrick Huber, Dr)Earrings are made of a wide variety of materials, ranging

from beautiful stones to expensive diamonds. But diamond earrings are usually used

by women in formal evening situations.

 In addition to necklaces and earrings, bracelets are also eye-catching accessories.

People think that the more bracelets on the arms, the better. The styles and materials

of bracelets are also varied. It can be thick or thin wood, or animal bones, or even

shells and metals. Gems are often set in the middle. Some bracelets are more like

totems of African tribes. The pictures are chaotic but exotic.

Changes in necklaces,earrings and bracelets led to new ideas about jewelry in

1920.
