Design Era

Design & Historical Context

Art Nouveau, also known as the Modern Style or or Jugendstil, is a decorative art movement that emerged in the late 19th century and was popular until World War I. It is characterized by its use of flowing, organic lines and naturalistic motifs, such as flowers, plants, and animals, as well as its emphasis on craftsmanship and the use of unconventional materials, such as glass, ceramic, and metal.

Art Nouveau jewelry often features intricate and detailed designs, with a focus on curved lines and natural forms. The jewelry is often made of precious metals, such as gold and silver, and may be adorned with gemstones, enamels, and other decorative elements.

One of the most distinctive features of Art Nouveau jewelry is its use of elongated, sinuous lines and flowing, organic shapes, which were meant to evoke a sense of movement and fluidity. The jewelry often depicts nature themes, such as flowers, vines, and leaves, as well as abstract and symbolic motifs, such as the female form, which was often depicted in a sensual or romanticized way.

Art Nouveau jewelry was popular in many countries, including France, Belgium, Austria, and the United States, and was produced by a wide range of designers and artists, including Louis Comfort Tiffany, René Lalique, and Gustav Klimt. Despite the popularity of Art Nouveau, the movement eventually fell out of favor after World War I, and was replaced by more geometric and industrial styles. However, it has often been revived and continues to influence contemporary jewelry design.

Key Materials

Materials & Craftsmanship

Sapphire

Sapphire is a mineral made from aluminum oxide that is known for its beautiful colors, including blue, pink, yellow, green, purple, and orange.

The most popular variety of sapphire is blue sapphire, which has a medium to deep blue color and strong saturation. Blue sapphire is typically the most popular and most affordable of the three major precious gemstones (emerald, ruby, and sapphire) and is often used in a variety of different types of jewelry, including rings, earrings, pendants, and bracelets. Fancy sapphires, which are available in a variety of different colors, are often more rare and expensive than blue sapphires and are prized for their unique and beautiful colors.

Sapphire is a very hard and durable gemstone, with a Mohs hardness of 9 out of 10, which makes it resistant to scratches and other types of damage. It is also believed to have various healing properties and is sometimes used in traditional medicine and meditation practices.

14k

14k gold is a popular choice for use in jewelry because it is durable, yet still relatively affordable compared to higher karat golds like 18k or 24k. It is made up of 58.5% pure gold and is mixed with other metals to make it harder and more durable. 14k gold is available in a range of colors, including yellow, white, and rose, and is commonly used in a variety of jewelry pieces such as rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. One of the advantages of 14k gold is that it is more resistant to wear and tear than pure gold, which makes it suitable for everyday wear. However, it is still softer than other alloys such as stainless steel or platinum, so it may require more maintenance to keep it looking its best. Overall, 14k gold is a popular choice for those who want the look and feel of gold, but at a more affordable price point.

Enhance the Beauty of Your Jewelry with Proper Care

Wearing your jewelry is a special way to express yourself and add a touch of personal style to any look. However, to ensure your jewelry remains in pristine condition, there are a few simple steps you need to take to keep it looking its best.

General Care Instructions:

Remove jewelry when showering or bathing, especially when at the beach, in the sea or in chlorinated water.
Avoid wearing jewelry while doing physical work such as housekeeping, gardening or exercise.
Storing your jewelry in a dry and cool place will help protect it from moisture, dirt and dust.
Keeping it away from harsh chemicals such as bleach, ammonia and chlorine will help to avoid discoloration and damage.
Cleaning your jewelry regularly with a soft cloth will help to keep it looking shiny and new.
Avoid exposing your jewelry to extreme temperatures, such as leaving it in direct sunlight or near a heater, as this can cause damage.
Handle your jewelry carefully and avoid dropping it, as this can cause the stones to loosen or the metals to scratch.
Finally, if possible, have your jewelry professionally checked and serviced. This will ensure that any potential problems are spotted and fixed before they become worse.

By following these tips, you can enjoy your precious jewelry for many years to come.
