HISTORY

Costume jewelry gained popularity in the early to mid-20th century as an affordable alternative to fine jewelry. Designers often used base metals and simulated gemstones to create fashionable pieces.

Ornate designs with filigree details were common during this period, reflecting the Art Deco and Retro styles. Black onyx was a popular choice for its dramatic look and versatility. The use of oxidized or antiqued finishes added to the vintage aesthetic.
