EDITORS COMMENTS
In this image from 1937, we witness the allure of Victorian jewellery being reimagined as ornamental brooches, in line with the evolving fashion trends of the 1930s. The jewellery department at Army & Navy, a renowned establishment during that era, extended an invitation to the public to submit their own Victorian jewels for adaptation. The photograph showcases a selection of these exquisite creations, where once-forgotten Victorian pieces have been transformed into fashionable brooches, more in vogue with the times. The clustered diamonds and jewelled bars, reminiscent of the Victorian era, have been artfully remounted, giving them a fresh and contemporary look. The 1930s, also known as the Thirties or the 30s, was a period of change and innovation in fashion. As trends evolved, so too did the desire to adapt and reuse older pieces, embracing the concept of upcycling and recycling before it became a modern-day movement. This approach allowed women to maintain a connection to their past while staying current with the latest styles. The meticulously produced brooches in this illustration exemplify the artistry and creativity of the time. With their timeless appeal, these adaptations continue to captivate us today, serving as a reminder of the enduring allure of jewellery and the transformative power of fashion.
