Impressive amethyst bangle-Retro era

Bold 18kt. yellow gold amethyst bangle from the glamorous Retro period.

Jewelry has always reflected the mood and status of the women who wear it. Jewelry from the 1940-50′s reflected the increasing independence and power of women in society.  Women were no longer seen as “fragile” and in need of protection but rather as strong, self sufficient and free thinking. Jewelry reflected this change in attitude and went from being delicate and understated to bold and sumptuous.

This substantial 18kt. yellow gold bangle epitomizes the luxurious, well made jewelry from this era.  The amethysts are bright and full of fire, just like the women for whom this jewelry was designed.
