Chicago World’s Fair Jewelry
We love collecting vintage jewelry and recently we can’t get enough of the Chicago World’s Fair bracelets. The fair was themed “A Century of Progress”, and attendees were so delighted at what they saw at the fair that it was extended into 1934.

The fair had some amazing events including an appearance of the Graf Zeppelin. There were also some exciting American automobiles – Cadillac’s presentation of a V-16 limo, Lincoln’s presentation of a concept car with a rear engine and the fabulous Pierce Silver Arrow designed by James R. Hughes. Also exhibited was the famous “Zephyr,” the first streamlined train of the Union Pacific Railroad. Check out the Zeppelin in one of our favorite bracelets below.
