RETRO JEWELS
Jewels of the Retro era are reflective of a unique period in time. They are marked by World War II and its post-war reconstruction: the political changes, the restrictions and shortages, as well as the incredibly fast industrial growth that followed.
Retro jewellery pieces are a sophisticated, bold, and playful statement. Feminine and glamorous motifs are meant to soften the wartime era severity and masculine clothing styles. Women adorned jewels with flowers, birds and ribbons, whilst industrial progress inspirations also gave birth to iconic pieces such as the Ludo and Tubogas bracelets.
