Fashion trends sparkled with flat-shouldered elegance
The piece surveys 1920s style obsessions from crystal bath parlor motifs to jeweled accessories. It notes two bracelet designs, long pendant earrings, and two-bracelet constructions, plus velvet backgrounds for diamonds, bold enamel and opal settings, lace medallions, and escalating prices for bags and cigarette cases. It highlights slim sleeves, flat-shouldered silhouettes, and the era’s push toward ornate, coordinated en suite jewelry.
