Art Nouveau jewellery, prominent in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, is characterised by organic motifs, asymmetrical fluid lines, and a heavy influence from nature and Celtic revival designs.

Craftsmen of this period typically used sterling silver, often with a hand-hammered finish, and set pieces with semi-precious stones such as amethysts, turquoise, and moonstones.

Authentic pieces often feature distinctive makers marks or registration numbers, characteristic cymric or tudor silver styling, hand-wrought texturing, and stylized organic or interlaced motifs.

Antique brooches can be worn traditionally on lapels and scarves, pinned to velvet display ribbons for wall art, or styled on decorative cushions in a period interior setting.

Store silver pieces in anti-tarnish bags, clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth to preserve the natural patina, and avoid harsh chemical dips that can damage softer semi-precious stones like amethysts.
