The History
Mid Century Jewelry was all about being big and bold in design and structure. This beautiful jewelry was inspired by the glamorous nature of the Hollywood regency era.
Repoussé authentic began as an ancient metal working technique, involving malleable silver first formed with a specially created three-dimensional mold and then further refined by hammering from the reverse side and adding detail to the front. The finished work was intricate, with grooves, indentation and channeling. It was then carefully polished as an eye-catching treasure.
