5 Gatsby-Inspired Art Deco Pieces Under $40


Tiffany & Co has launched a gorgeous Great Gatsby collection of art deco-inspired jewelry — but considering its stunning platinum headpiece with diamonds and pearls will run you $200,000, we’ve been forced to look elsewhere.

(For the record, Tiffany’s least expensive “Jazz Age Glamour” necklace is the cute Zigfeld Collection Pearl Collection Pearl Pendant, which costs $250. Less-than-exciting Black Onyx Earrings will run you $135.)

Luckily, you can dress up in pearls, metallics and drop-waist dresses like Carey Mulligan in The Great Gatsby without needing Leo’s bank account! Here are 5 art deco pieces under $100:

1. Forever 21 Art Deco earrings - $6.80

I’m not ashamed to admit that I own these art deco earrings from Forever 21 — they’re classy, stylish and look even better in person! Best of all, they’re only $6.80. Forever 21 is also selling a number of gold art deco necklaces and bracelets — check ‘em out!

2. Urban Outfitters Kimchi Blue Art Deco Jewel Crossbody Bag - $24.99

Hurry — this Kimchi Blue handbag is on sale! It pairs the modern crossbody handbag style with the old-world glamor of metallic gold. Gold sequins are surrounded by larger jewels for the ultimate shimmer!

3. Modcloth Loud & Clear Necklace - $14.99

You’ll turn heads at any Gatsby party with this gold, black and turquoise art deco necklace — and you’ll also love the price. One reviewer called it “flashy” — but that’s what this decade is all about!

4. American Eagle Beaded Bodycon Dress - $34.99

If you like the beaded dresses of the 1920s without the loose fit, check out this cute sale dress from American Eagle. Its bead and sequin chiffon overlay with flutter sleeves is adorable, while its hip-hugging skirt is sexy!

5. Asos Flapper Hairband - $24.94

LOVE. That’s the only word I have for this ornate linked diamante embellished headpiece with drop teardrop stones. Wear it with a plain tee and jeans during the day, or dress it up with a metallic dress at night.
