FAQs

Art Nouveau jewellery, prominent between 1890 and 1910, is characterised by organic motifs such as insects, flowers, and flowing asymmetrical lines inspired by natural forms.

Craftspeople typically utilised guilloche enamelling, where translucent enamel is layered over engine-turned metal backgrounds, combined with plique-a-jour or champleve techniques to create colourful, stained-glass-like effects.

Authentic pieces often feature period hallmarks, handcrafted sterling silver settings, hand-applied enamel with natural ageing characteristics, and secure pin mechanisms consistent with early twentieth-century manufacturing.

These versatile pieces can be fastened to lapels, worn to secure silk scarves, pinned to the centre of necklines, or displayed on velvet backing frames as decorative objects of art.

Enamel is sensitive to harsh chemicals and ultrasonic cleaners, so pieces should be cleaned gently using a soft, damp microfibre cloth and stored away from direct sunlight and moisture to prevent tarnish and damage.
