Latest Art Deco Era Jewelry (1910s-1939)
The Master Craftsmanship Jewelry Era
The vast majority of jewelry stores supply customers with rings, bracelets and earrings constructed with casting and/or machines like 3D printers finished with a jeweler's touch. This causes jewelry in modern jewelry stores to look the same. Casting took off after the end of World War II. While a greater quantity of jewelry can be made with improved technology, uniqueness and Wow Factor is often lost in the process.
Antique and Handmade Jewelry
Jewelry was mainly made by hand by master craftsmen/women up to the end of the Retro Era (Late 1930s-1940s). Therefore, every piece is unique and many are small Works of Art. Why spend a large amount of money, such as on an engagement ring, if what you're buying is not special enough to be One of a Kind?
A timeframe of weeks to months was the normal timeframe for a single piece of jewelry to be created during the Handmade Era. This is one of the reasons Rodriguez & Sons loves antique and vintage jewelry; we are astounded and humbled by the patience, love and expertise invested into a single piece the width of one inch.
