Jewelry history: Retro jewelry is characterized by the use of yellow gold, the development of 3-D volumes and the rarity of gemstones. Here we have a perfect example of such jewelry: a large volume, the use of synthetic rubies – thus compensating for the lack of gemstones available on the market after the War. Indeed, the Second World War had a considerable impact on jewelry fashion at the time, sweeping aside the taste for “white”, the geometric “flat” and the abundance of gems of Art Deco.
