| The latest movie version of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby opens this month and the jewelry featured is breathtaking. The story is set in the Roaring Twenties, a time of great prosperity — and fabulous style. It was the height of the Art Deco movement and Oscar Heyman, celebrating just ten years in business, was already recognized as the Jewelers’ Jeweler. They were the most sought after designer and manufacturer of the day, handcrafting the most beautiful jewelry of the period. Here we share some exquisite treasures and original designs from our archives. Let us know about the Oscar Heyman estate pieces you have in your collection. |
