These events, along with the awareness of living in the nuclear age, contributed to the development of an aesthetic known as the Atomic Age, reflected in various fields of design, including jewelry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn 1947, Christian Dior introduced a new style in fashion, bringing back a more feminine silhouette and rejecting the dark lines popular during the war. This silhouette, with a fitted bodice and a neckline above a full skirt flowing from a narrowly cinched waist, called for a new aesthetic for the jewelry and accessories that accompanied it. Jewelry from this period was characterized by a tendency toward more elaborate and ornate pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTo complement this elegant style, diamonds set in the platinum were often worn at the neckline and on the ears, newly revealed by upswept hairstyles held in place with diamond clips. The DeBeers Diamond Corporation helped support demand for diamonds with its campaign “A Diamond is Forever,” which encouraged the use of diamonds at all income levels, particularly among a rapidly growing middle class.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMain material: citrine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCitrine: a variety of quartz in shades ranging from pale yellow to deep amber, with a hardness of 7 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14 ct gold: an alloy composed of 58.3% pure gold and 41.7% alloyed metals such as copper, silver, nickel, or zinc.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e14 ct gold is appreciated for its durability, versatility, and common use in rings, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, and watches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOffers: no\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e ","brand":"Binenbaum Antiques \u0026 Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"51","offer_id":55169179189577,"sku":"A96DAF498CF1461299FEC9A13575F0DD","price":1895.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0342\/5311\/1432\/files\/mp_67620_0.jpg?v=1788026698","url":"https:\/\/58facettes.com\/products\/bague-en-or-14-ct-avec-citrine-ovale-sertie-clos","provider":"58 Facettes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
