During this time of World War
II, all of Europe's luxury
production ceased, as their
resources were committed to
the war effort. Meanwhile, the
United States benefited from
the prosperity caused by the
war in Europe. It was during
this time that the American
jewelry market finally
flourished. Pink or "rose"
gold became very popular as
well as big, bold styles.
Bows, ribbons, birds, flowers,
and patriotic themes were
widespread styles of Retro
jewelry. |
