Large Diamond, Coral and Lapis Brooch after a Model by Boucheron, c. 1985

Fashions and styles come and go, but it is rarely possible to pinpoint a single date on which a new style entered the stage of history. This is not the case with Art Déco, as it was born on May 16, 1925, with the opening of the great Exposition internationale des arts décoratifs in Paris. What had previously been on display here and there in workshops and studios was now gathered together in one place and entered the consciousness of contemporaries with such force that it quickly became clear: Something new had emerged here, the very art that is known today by the name of the exhibition: Art Déco.Schmuckellerie. Art Déco, Munich 1985, [p. 137]. A contemporary overview of the jewellery exhibited in Paris in 1925 can be found in the special edition of the magazine Le Grand Negoce from 1925, which can be viewed online here.
