FAQs

Art Nouveau jewellery, flourishing from roughly 1890 to 1910, is characterised by fluid, asymmetrical lines inspired by natural forms such as plants, flowers, and insects.

Craftspeople frequently utilised organic materials such as horn, tortoiseshell, bone, and ivory alongside precious metals and gemstones to achieve naturalistic textures and colour variations.

Authentic pieces typically display hand-carved detailing with natural grain variations in the material, period-appropriate pin mechanisms, and characteristic subject matter like flora and fauna.

These versatile accessories can be pinned to lapels, silk scarves, or hats to introduce a tactile, historical element to contemporary outfits.

Horn is an organic material that requires protection from excessive moisture, direct sunlight, and harsh chemicals; store in a dry environment and clean gently with a soft, dry cloth.
