The Art Deco movement encompasses the jewelry that continues to resonate more than any other period since its trailblazing approach to design first came into style. This year’s centennial of the Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris in, has spurred even more of a revival and reinvigoration of the movement which actually began approximately 10 years early and receive its name Art Deco retrospectively, in 1966.
