Art Nouveau Jewelry (Belle Epoque)

Our Art Nouveau jewelry (Belle Epoque) collection, inspired by the period from the 1890s to World War I, showcases the movement’s signature organic beauty and focus on craftsmanship. Art Nouveau jewelry is known for its flowing, asymmetrical designs, often inspired by nature and fantasy. Common motifs include insects like butterflies and dragonflies, graceful birds like peacocks and swans, and floral shapes such as chrysanthemums, orchids, and sunflowers. Mystical symbols, such as snakes, mermaids, and chimeras, add to the dreamlike quality of these pieces.

Art Nouveau jewelry is notable for its use of unconventional materials and techniques. Brightly colored enamel, often applied in pastel shades, adds vibrancy without the need for gemstones, while moonstone, opal, horn, amber, and shell create an ethereal look. Woman-centric designs were popular, often featuring serene, feminine figures with flowing hair, embodying the period’s emphasis on beauty and mysticism.

This collection reflects Art Nouveau's (Belle Epoque) reaction against industrialization, embracing individuality and traditional handmade techniques. Each piece invites you to experience a world of elegance, nature, and imagination
