1920s Fashion: Coco Chanel, Marlene Dietrich And More Style Icons Of The Era

Many important things happened in the 1920s (Prohibition, jazz music, Art Deco...) But in our minds, one of the more significant developments of the decade was fashion entering the modern era. After decades of rigid Victorian style (think corsets and petticoats), fashion was finally becoming more relaxed, and women began to don what we now know as sportswear.

The movement, led by flappers (young ladies who pushed social norms by drinking, smoking and wearing then-risqué styles like short hemlines and excessive makeup), paved the way for what fashion has become today.

This important shift was championed by a few women who quickly became fashion icons in their own right. Between Coco Chanel, the fashion designer who was responsible for popularizing a more casual, less constricting silhouette, and the German-American actress Marlene Dietrich, who pioneered androgynous style, there were plenty of leading ladies who defied preconceived notions of femininity and beauty.

I feel a girl can never have to much jewelry , and even if you have on nothing but a t-shirt and jeans a signature piece will make you stand out in a crowd .

Silvertribe is a jewelry maker with authentic Indian pieces . The necklace that you see pictured here happens to be a very unique piece of jewelry.

What makes it  so unique is the fact it's hand made . There are silver chords on this beautiful  hand strung bead by bead creation to form this stunning 100 strand necklace.

 At first when I looked at this piece I thought , I have seen that sort of necklace before. 

 I took a closer look and as we all know the devils in the details . What wonderful craftsmanship - this is truly a work of art . Although a little on the pricey side - I seem to think it is well worth the money since it is made with money ......Yes quarters are silver aren't they , so is this necklace. Make a statement with this peice , click this link to see for your self .
