Influenced by the Far and Middle East, Greece, the Romans and the Egyptians, Art Deco rose like the Phoenix from the ashes of World War I. The introduction of cubism in the art world after 1925 brought about strong geometrical patterns strongly associated with this style today. Diamonds and platinum were used disregarding cost. Gemstones were cut into triangles, trapezoids, oblong shapes and emerald cuts. Oriental Jade and Coral were carved in oriental style for pendants, bracelets and earrings. Aquamarines, topaz and citrine are also part of the Art Deco style and widely used to express the feelings of the period. Although the great Depression of the 1930's was a hard time for everyone, the Art Deco style infused the everyday world with elegance and sophistication. Art Deco jewelry was mainly dominated by French designers, Cartier, Bucheron, and Fouquet to name some of the most outstanding.
