A detailed description of the characteristics of Art Deco period would take way too long, but here's a good little overview on the jewelry of the time (this would be the most relevant, as the Clé de Peau holiday vintage palettes are modeled after antique jewelry).
Take a peek at 2009's palette and let me know whether you prefer that one to 2010's. Personally, while I think they're both gorgeous, I love the 2010 one more.
