The Story: Taking its name from the 1925 World’s Fair titled “International Exhibition of Modern Decorative and Industrial Arts,” the Art Deco movement is characterized by its geometric designs reminiscent of industry (no screws, nuts, gears). White gold, platinum, chrome and silver are also characteristic of the period, during which yellow gold, previously highly prized by jewellers, was substituted for these “white” materials, further in line with the movement’s industrial aesthetics.
