Unlike other styles of design, which favors organic and flowing forms, art deco styles of jewelry are famous for their geometric shapes, angles, and symmetry. The style was hugely popular in the 1920s, and not just for jewelry but for art, clothing, and more. The style was far more than just the geometric shapes, too. In addition, it included influences from very popular emerging art trends like cubism. In addition, Egyptian themes were common because of the spiraling or radiating nature of Egyptian artifact art. The style favored bold symmetrical patterns and clear contrasts with colors and materials. The Tiffany & Co. Ziegfeld Collection hearkens back to this style and does so in a stunningly beautiful way.

Filled with pearls, the most popular natural “gems” of the 1920s and designed to make the art deco movement wonderfully approachable today, the pieces in this collection are simply extraordinary. The designs are bold and statement making from the pearl wing with an onyx center stone to the Sterling Silver Daisy pendant with onyx. There are cufflinks and signet rings for men, and even the very elegant pearl drop earrings are still rich in art deco charm. If you’re looking for the kind of jewelry that majestically combines elegant style with a pronounced statement, the Tiffany Ziegfeld collection is just the thing for you.
