Jewelry from this period was most often crafted between 1920 and 1940. Art Deco jewelry sometimes featured white gold or platinum, geometric designs, European cut diamonds, filigree, and calibre cut stones that are specially cut to fit the design of the piece. During the Art Deco period jewelers often made jewelry upon custom order, this would usually take weeks to months to completely craft by hand. Cat's Eye Chrysoberyl is popular gemstone that ranges in color from golden honey, lemon yellow, to mint green hues with a translucent appearance.

The cats eye effect, or chatoyancy, is what gives this stone it's unique characteristic; very fine inclusions cause a bright line to appear across the stone, and glide across it, when light hits it. Caty's Eye Chrysoberyl also a "milk and honey" effect, which causes one side to appear milky when light is directed at the side.
