It was obvious that as the times and fashion style changed, so would the jewelry trends. Art deco era jewelry pulled from the main art deco style, geometric, angular, and streamlined, just like all the other forms of design. The shapes of the jewelry were very angular and the types of stones were very expensive (because of the economic boom of the 1920's). The metals used were also very expensive. Gold (yellow and white) were the most common along with platinum. During the Great Depression of the 30's the jewelry was made from a mix of expensive and cheaper products so that they were more affordable.
