Ribbons and bows, flowers and leaves so popular in the 40s, were being rendered in the new more textural style. Gone were the smooth and silky expanses of mirror finish; the satin ribbon-like gold swaths and sinuous swirls were usurped by woven, linked, twisted and textured chunky gold renderings of the same themes. The influence of Abstraction and Surrealism on the art world found it\u2019s way into the design of everyday objects and these same curvilinear shapes began to impact the world of jewelry. Grittier, amplified and articulated three-dimensional textile motifs were employed to set off bold gemstones and make a fearless fashion statement. After the parsimonious war years, the world was ready for flamboyant displays of gems and jewelry.<\/p><figure id=\"attachment_208\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-208\" style=\"width: 552px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-208\" src=\"https:\/\/www.langantiques.com\/university\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Fifties_Fashion_Photo.jpg\" alt=\"Fifties Fashion Photo.\" width=\"552\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.langantiques.com\/university\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Fifties_Fashion_Photo.jpg 650w, https:\/\/www.langantiques.com\/university\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Fifties_Fashion_Photo-300x163.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 552px) 100vw, 552px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-208\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fifties Fashion Photo.<\/figcaption><\/figure><p>The world of\u00a0<i>haute couture<\/i>\u00a0sought to celebrate the feminine figure with a wide array of sumptuous fabrics featuring silks, brocades, and lace.

Super serious and raucously ridiculous zoomorphic collections of animals posed and pranced accented by enamel and gemstones of every hue. Not to be left out, undersea life was also in vogue, seahorses, fun fish, crabs, squid, and octopi floated realistically and comically throughout the 1950s.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-fd56e27 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"fd56e27\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;jet_parallax_layout_list&quot;:[]}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5f8979d\" data-id=\"5f8979d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb011ba elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"fb011ba\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.langantiques.com\/university\/wp-content\/uploads\/elementor\/thumbs\/900px-Fifties_Turquoise_Floral_Brooch-q88k0c7jyh530ikkqt6paxscfjllklgue349pj1bpk.jpg\" title=\"Fifties_Turquoise_Floral_Brooch\" alt=\"Diamond and Turquoise Platinum Bellflower Brooch,\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<figcaption class=\"widget-image-caption wp-caption-text\">Diamond and Turquoise Platinum Bellflower Brooch,\nc.
