Automotive Motif of the Art Deco Period
During the Art Deco Period within jewelry, automotive motifs became popular as a result of the first ever automobile. This era occurred during the 1920s & 1930s. I love all the vintage possibilities of this motif, and many of them are in the form of charms. During my trip to California, I was wooed by the awesomeness of the Blue Angels jets as they tore up the sky (it literally sounded like they were tearing up the sky!) At the Miramar Air Show I also got to see WWII war planes flying through the air. Not only did that sight sort of transported me back in time, but it helped me to understand why planes were made into pieces of jewelry. {14k yellow gold British taxi, Price: $205 from CHARMCO} {14k yellow gold with rubies airplane, Price: $215 from CHARMCO} {14k yellow gold cruise ship, Price: $205 from CHARMCO} {18k yellow gold propeller with diamond, Price: $225 from CHARMCO} {14k yellow gold double-decker bus that opens, Price: $200 from Beladora2} Read More
