Women's Jewelry Information

Accessories held a prominent place in the late 19^th and 20^th century, especially as introduced by Coco Chanel in the 1920’, and into the 1930’s.  Accessories were utilitarian but combined utility with beauty of design.  The lorgnette, buckles, short hat pins and hat ornaments, dress clips, sash pins, beaded bags and purses were very popular, and the ‘necessaries’ included: coin purses, vanity cases, card cases and tiny writing tablets complete with silver case and lead pencil.  These accessories added an expression of charm to the individual costume.  The Art Deco period, c1925, brought the powder and rouge compact, with bright lipsticks, and even the elongated cigarette holder which gave a contrived saucy stance to the faddish fashion models of the era.
