The History

The Art Nouveau era (1890-1910) was also called "La Belle Époque" in French, which translates to "A Beautiful Time.” The gorgeous designs which emerged from this period proved that the name was well deserved. This era drew inspiration from the beauty of women and the natural world, and the resulting pieces were often large and elegant. Because the period emphasized the importance of the design over the materials used to create it, enamel was a common material used in Art Nouveau jewelry. The Art Nouveau period occurred before the start of the first World War, when mass manufacturing took over the production of many products, including some jewelry.
