History:
In 1937, the International Exhibition of Technical Arts in Modern Life foreshadowed a new style which would develop in the 1940s by emancipating itself from Art Deco.
During this decade, “tank” jewelry will appear. They are so called because their links resemble tank tracks.
This type of immediately recognizable old piece of jewelry is now the subject of renewed interest.
