Golden Revival

Golden Revival is hot on the runway. Get your creative inspiration from the broad array of suggested products and design ideas. Feel free to borrow any technique and make it your own.

Accessorize in Golden Revival

Treat yourself to an artfully fused mix of the golden age of the Pharaohs, early Hollywood glamour and the gilded Art Deco period to transform your style into head-to-toe brilliance.

In the 1930s, Hollywood accessories and movies flourished with glamorous Egyptian-themed jewelry following the discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamen. Enjoy a revival of this style with decadently rich gemstone beads, fashioned into wide bracelets and belts, Egyptian-style bib and pectoral necklaces and long, tiered earrings. Create sensual Art Deco-inspired jewelry in bracelets, chokers, pins, cocktail rings and earrings that sparkle and flash with the sleek, sensual elegance of classic Hollywood.

How to wear the style

Borrow the sultry style of 1930s stars like Vilma Banky, Myrna Loy and Claudette Colbert to transform your style into golden-goddess glamour with luxurious jewelry. Use detailed diamond-cut gold components, polished black onyx beads, slinky chain tassels and large Swarovski® crystal pearls. Cluster dramatic, warm-colored Swarovski® baroque, column, montee and briolette-shaped crystal beads with sparkling squaredelles in succulent patterns.

Design with metal beads and components in shapes that resemble the diverse art and architecture of the Art Deco period like golden drops, links and plated Lazer Lace™ filigree components. Pair fine gold-filled beads, vermeil beads and gold-toned pewter beads and components with romantic, gold-accented hand-painted porcelain beads to mimic the gilded paintings by acclaimed Austrian artist, Gustav Klimt.

Experiment with luck-bearing carved scarab gemstone beads, mystifying evil-eye beads and Egyptian charms to create jewelry with ancient royal appeal. Combine square, teardrop, heishe and triangle-shaped lapis lazuli, garnet, carnelian, rich red jade, turquoise and soft green chrysophrase gemstone beads with cobalt, bronze and red Celestial Crystal® beads. Add geometric-shaped brass beads in concentric patterns that mimic the mathematical precision of ancient Egyptian jewelry.
