The roaring 20’s changed women’s lifestyles and attitudes with a loud roar.
Women became athletic and counted their calories. They cut their hair short, threw off the corsets and wore long slinky dresses. Cartier created jewelry for the new fashion with deco styled bandeaus (headbands), long chains with pendants and jeweled slim watches. Doris Duke, one of the richest women in the U.S. was the daughter of James B. Duke, founder of the American Tobacco Company. Nanaline Holt Inman, her mother, commissioned Cartier to design a bandeau with a white natural pearl set in the center of geometric shaped diamond motifs. The two teardrop shape diamonds at the top of the bandeau adds a ‘royal’ look. In 1924 Doris wore this modern diamond bandeau for her ‘coming out’ party at age 16.
Amethyst, a beautiful young girl, was on her way to pay worship to the mythological goddess Diana when tigers were about to pounce on her under orders of the Greek god Bacchus. In order to save her Diana immediately froze the girl into a clear crystal and Bacchus in his grief poured grape juice over her so that she glowed a beautiful purple color. From then on the gemstone amethyst was believed to calm anger and relieve frustrated passion. Derived from a Greek word “amethustos” which means to prevent intoxication.

The gemstone Garnet brings to mind a vision of sparkling little red stones set in clusters of florets worn by our great grand mothers. The small bright red rounds resemble pomegranate seeds which is exactly what they are named from—the Latin word for pomegranate seeds, ‘Granatum.’
