New York--The early 1900s were a time of peace and prosperity in the United States and, for many, also a time of wealth, as small businesses grew and factory output flourished.
As incomes rose, those affected sought to display this status much like we do today--with jewels and adornments. This paved the way for Belle Époque jewelry, which is characterized by garlands, foliate motifs, lace and bows.

Thanks for sharing! Glad to read a wonderful piece of history. My friend who is a jewelry buff also mentioned this story to me before, which started my fascination for historical jewelries.
