If you love the fashions of the Jazz Age and imagine yourself a character in the Great Gatsby, dripping with jewels, then Art Deco style jewelry is a great way for you to incorporate this vintage aesthetic into your modern wardrobe. These styles, which feature the repeating geometric motifs and sleek glamour of the 1920s and 1930s, work just as well for contemporary women as they did for the flapper girls of the past century.
Art Deco design reflected the new machine-age technology rather than traditional crafting methods – and Art Deco jewelry is symmetrical, geometric, sleek, streamlined, often simple, and pleasing to the eye. Stega is the way to describe a stepped pattern.
