Shelley's comments: Sinuous, meandering lines characterize the essentially feminine imagery of the art nouveau aesthetic. Lasting a brief period of time, between 1895 and 1915, its influence on all decorative arts established the Art Nouveau style as a recognized design movement. Originally intended as a rebellion against industrial mass produced products, the design practitioners of the "new art" created items that were largely hand made, one at a time. Form and beauty of an item was deemed more valuable than the intrinsic worth of its materials. In jewelry, there was preference for glass artistry, enameling over precious stones and metals.If you prefer to order by telephone, or for addresses of retailers in your area who carry other Sweet Romance items, call 1.800.935.1935.
