The Story: The period between the end of the nineteenth century (1895) and the beginning of the twentieth century (1910) saw the birth of the Art Nouveau movement, which would impact architecture, art and jewelry. This artistic movement highlights the aesthetics of curved lines, interlacing or arabesques…. Art Nouveau jewelers, wanting to put an end to the rigour and symmetry of 19th century jewelry, created new techniques and used new materials such as horn, tortoiseshell, amber, and cloisonné enamel. The diamond remains, during this period as always, a reference stone for the jeweler.
