Label TextAfter World War I, a new generation of women artists began to take center stage in the British design world, revitalizing traditional crafts in a new social and economic climate. Dorrie Nossiter and her friends Sybil Dunlop and George Hunt, whose brooches are also included in this display, used luscious semi-precious stones in their designs to great effect. These were sold in London shops offering fashion jewelry, accessories, objets d’arts, and some furnishings.Published ReferencesZapata, Janet, "Jewelry at the Toledo Museum of Art," Antiques, vol. 158, no. 4, October 2000, p. 511-512, pl.
