Hollywood’s impact was so huge, even jewellery was designed to stand out on a black and white screen. Clear gemstones were preferred over coloured ones, which imposed one of the most iconic 1930s jewellery fashion - the sparkle trend.
The demand for jewellery rose despite the financial crisis, thanks to the big screen. Hollywood’s original designs were replicated and mass produced, with sparkling clear stones placed on white metal or silver mountings, resembling diamonds and platinum.
Other popular jewellery materials in the 1930s were painted glass, fake pearls and plastic, used for extravagant, heavy, Victorian inspired necklaces and bracelets. The gents wore large gemstone rings, decorated with a geometric black onyx, ruby or amber.
Ladies engagement rings featured colourful gemstones, pearls or round stones set in platinum or white metal mounting. The most iconic engagement ring setting is the art deco halo, featuring a diamond set in a halo of colourful gemstones. The 1930s fashion and jewellery trends were influenced by exotic locations and featured African, Egyptian and Middle-eastern motifs.
The essential feature of a bridal tuxedo are the high waist, wide-legged trousers. They would perfectly tie with a feminine lace or diamante top in a matching colour. Let’s not forget the 1930s classic accessories - gloves, dress clips and brooches, turbans, hats worn at an angle and most importantly, art deco jewellery. The most emblematic shoes from the decade are the two-toned, square heeled brogues with cutouts, however any t-strap shoes will flawlessly complete any 1930s wedding outfit.
1930s inspired bridal hairstyles feature romantic curls or soft and wavy loose up-dos, decorated with sparking hair clips and combs. Make up would ideally be kept light and matte finish and nails in natural rose and coral tones.
Jewellery was widely popular and the essential mean to make any cheaply made outfit look glamorous since rougher, imitation garments and mass produced clothing became the norm during the great depression. Fashion industry embraced economical cuts and inexpensive manufacture means. Costs affected clothing designs and spawned the typical 1930s women’s classics. Such are A-line skirts with floral or geometric prints, sailor tops and puffy sleeved dresses, draped with large collars.
Those everyday vintage trends could be transformed into bespoke luxurious bridesmaid outfits. To jazz up a basic bridesmaid dress, we could nip an iconic 1930s evening gown feature - faux furs, feathers or diamante decoration, cut low at the back, tailored to tightly fit and flatter the body flaring below the knees, elegantly lingering on the floor.
