Art nouveau gold jewelry - Second hand art nouveau jewelry - Diamond art nouveau jewel

Art Nouveau and the Belle Epoque merged and were born in the 1890s.
Created against the excesses of industrialization and the repeated reproduction of antique styles, it is a sudden, rapid movement that is developing internationally.
Largely inspired by nature, flowers and plants, Art Nouveau jewelry is characterized by its sinuous lines, curves and organic shapes. A busy, flowery and colorful style where the woman is omnipresent.
Art Nouveau was at its peak from 1890 to 1905, preceding Art Deco and the Roaring Twenties.
The Belle Epoque jewels present a continuity with the jewels of the second half of the 19th century. The technique is refined, the settings are more precise, especially diamonds. Platinum, although used from the beginning of the 19th century on high quality jewelry, became more and more used, its hallmark being officially registered in 1914.
