Jewels and bijoux on the Catwalk

In the world of fashion, jewels made their entrance at the moment which one started to bare arms and shoulders. In the 1900's and 1920's, the garçonne mode conquered Europe, women donned their hair short with ephebic forms, the decolletè was bare of jewels but the arms and shoulders were embellished with jewels that were of special creations of jewelers and goldsmiths. Even in the more equilbrated fashion mode of the 1930's, jewels always took first place, then were substituted with long gloves. On the Milan catwalks one has seen more or less everything. Royal ornaments of antique nature, objects that recall imperial coins, with the characteristic "basket" earrings and trafery, or with a cross in gold laminate with clusters of small balls on the arms of the models. Absolutely present is the collier de chien: a very adherent necklace, superb if made with many strings of set rigid and identical-sized pearls. Attention: this piece of jewelery is particularly indicated for those who have a swan-like neck, like the femme fatales of the 1900's and 1910's. And again thin and splendid chokers, necklaces used with crosses, hearts and sparkling stars, armbands and drop earrings.
