Adin Antique Jewellery Games 2016. Official opening with Art Deco Jewellery Diving.
Art Deco Jewellery Diving, as an independent part of Antique Jewellery Diving, was first introduced in the official programme of the Adin Antique Jewellery Games at the 1904 Games of Antwerp and has been an antique jewellery sport since. It was known as "fancy diving" for the acrobatic stunts performed by divers wearing impressive antique jewellery during the dive (such as tiaras and full parures). This discipline of Aquatics, along with bejewelled swimming and water pearl polo, is regulated and supervised by the international federation for aquatic antique jewellery sports.
