Retro (1940 - 1950)

Characterizing this period was heavy usage of yellow and/or rose gold (platinum being reserved for the war effort as a strategic metal) in big, bold designs using large gem-stones of many shades and colors.  Designs were Deco-inspired but often asymmetrical.  This is the period that embodied Hollywood glamour.
