The story: The period between the late nineteenth (1895) and early twentieth century (1910) saw the birth of the Art Nouveau movement, which impacted architecture, art and jewelry. This artistic current highlights the aesthetics of curved lines consisting of interlacing of foliage, fruits, flowers, animals …. Art Nouveau jewelers, wanting to put an end to the rigor and symmetry of 19th century jewelry, created new techniques and used new materials such as horn, tortoiseshell, amber, and cloisonné enamel.
