Vintage circa 1940

Some of the most popular stones in 1940's jewellery were topaz, citrine, rubies and sapphires. Often during this period over-sized brightly coloured stones cut in angular, rectangle and square shapes were extremely popular. These pieces were designed to inspire conversation with a feel of Hollywood glamour. Many of the decade’s leading ladies such as Katherine Hepburn and Eva Gardner sported over-sized rings in their films.
