Vintage Jewelry denotes the era encompassing the 1930's and the 1940's, a period in which the outbreak of war slowed down jewelry production. The big difference between these decades was the opulence of large gemstones and the richness of surfaces entirely pave or invisibly-set with diamonds, rubies or sapphires substituted by limited sized semi-precious stones and large metallic surfaces.

Vintage Diamond Engagement Rings with European-cut Diamonds popularize this era of Retro Ruby Jewelry in Platinum when Vintage Sapphire Necklace and Earring Sets were smothered in Diamonds accompanied by a bold Vintage Rose Gold Retro Brooch and a matching Vintage Asscher-cut Diamond Ring accentuated by a Stylish Retro Emerald Bracelet.

Citrine, aquamarine, amethyst, topaz and quartz were set into similar sized items of Vintage Retro Jewelry but in hollow constructions to conserve metal. Precious metals were rare, gold was scarce and platinum was almost unobtainable. Copper took the place of nickel, now used in armament manufacture, in gold manufacture, thus birthing Rose Gold, and Palladium was introduced to jewelry for the first time.

An appreciation for Retro Jewelry is a recent phenomenon which began in Italy, France and the USA in the early 1980's and it has now spread throughout Europe . The bold, chunky styles of the 1940's were well suited to the women who had taken over jobs left by men called to arms, they wore tailored suits, knee-length skirts and comfortable shoes, more appropriate with their jobs in commerce and industry.
