The Art Deco movement, which sprang up in the 1920-1930 period, was an attempt to merge the harshness of mass production with the sensitivity of art and design.
Coco Chanel introduced relatively inexpensive art deco costume jewelry during this period as a compliment to the Art Deco look. This jewelry typically featured harshly geometric and symmetrical lines.
Typically bold and lavish, Art Deco jewelry made use of new materials such as bakelite.
Art Deco costume jewelry remains highly collectible today.
