1930s Jewellery

1930s jewellery never goes out of fashion. These are pieces which are timeless, versatile and of incredibly high quality, making them a great addition to any jewellery collection.

Store your 1930s jewellery in a cloth-lined jewellery box or bag, ensuring that necklaces are kept in their own compartment to prevent tangling. To clean your 1930s jewellery, use washing up liquid, warm water and a soft bristle toothbrush.

Popular jewellery items of the 1930s include cocktail rings, statement necklaces, cuff bracelets and glamourous 1930 vintage brooches, all of which feel just as glamorous now as they did almost 100 years ago.

The design of 1930s jewellery was influenced by the Jazz Age and the Art Deco movement, which emphasised modernity, luxury and glamour. This is why many of the 1930s jewellery pieces you see here are larger and noticeably more extravagant than those from the Victorian and Edwardian periods.

The 1930s were a period of great innovation in jewellery design. Platinum, which can be crafted into much finer designs, was increasingly used. This was also an era when jewellers took full advantage of the bright colours of precious gemstones, using rubies, emeralds and sapphires alongside diamonds and pearls.
