The Art Deco artistic movement first appeared in France after the First World War and remained prominent until the Second World War. Art Deco is characterised by bold shapes and strong lines. Geometrics was a huge influence on Art Deco jewellery with circles, rectangles, squares and triangles being a regular feature.

Napier goes back to the late 19th-century, when the E. A. Bliss company made silverware, as well as gilt and silverplate jewellery, the word Napier was not associated with costume jewelry until the 1920s. The company made Egyptian Revival necklaces, earrings, and other pieces during the 1920s (among other styles), excelling in metalwork accented by faux stones. By the end of the 1930s, movie stars such as Sonja Henie and Lana Turner were wearing Napier.

plique-à-jour is a French term in the decorative arts. Plique a jour is a technique producing translucent enamels held in an open framework made by soldering individual wires or delicate metal strips to each other, rather than to a supporting surface as in cloisonné. The unattached support, usually a sheet of metal or mica, can be easily removed after the enamels have been annealed and cooled, producing an effect not unlike a stained-glass window in miniature. Developed in France and Italy in the 14th century, this technique has been used largely for making vessels, jewelry, and, in Russia, demitasse spoons.
