Mochishop has released a new range of retro geometric jewellery [jewelry]. Geometric jewellery [jewellery] has its roots in geometric abstractionism, an artistic extension of cubism which comes under the avant-garde umbrella. Within this artistic discipline, there was an exploration of simple geometric forms and color, often dispensing with representations of the real world. A well-known artist of this era was, Piet Mondrian, viewed the world as being composed of simple lines, shapes and colour and made his art according to this view.
At Mochishop, we have created our range of geometric jewellery [jewelry] inspired by the simplicity of shape and color. Our geometric range is made from cubes, spheres and uniform block colours.
As the art deco period followed The Great War, the post-war economic struggle meant that jewellery [jewelry] was no longer valued in terms of expense. Gemstones were often excluded from post-war, art deco jewellery [jewelry]. As the emphasis moved away from luxury, it began to focus on purely the appearance of the jewellery [jewelry].
This is another element we have incorporated into our Geometric jewellery [jewelry]: affordability. With our latest range we have perfectly captured the essence of geometric, art deco jewellery [jewelry] and present you with our simple, stylish, modern and affordable geometric bracelets. This is your opportunity to buy jewelry (jewellery) made in the spirit of 1920s and '30s - the glamorous decades.
