Since the 1960s, the space race has significantly imprinted on society, art, design and fashion. Exploring space has inspired countless developments in science and technology. The pivotal moment when a human stepped foot on another world marked the beginning of a new chapter of human accomplishment. Whether it’s a primal urge to escape our origins or reach for the next horizon, the Space Age has changed the way designers visualize the new world, welcoming emerging phenomena. This futuristic style in jewellery can be characterized by a heavy use of digital lines, geometric and irregular shapes. A new exuberant colour pallet amalgamated with metallic, white, petrol blues and neon. The use of innovative materials and colour technologies exemplifies this sanguine outlook, reflecting optimism for a high-tech future.
