Belle Époque - The Belle Époque is a period of European social history that began at the end of the 19th century and lasted until the First World War. Taking place during the French Third Republic and the German Empire, the "Belle Époque" was named retrospectively, when it began to be regarded as a "golden age." The great European powers, new technologies improved life, and commercial arts adapted Renaissance and 18th-century styles to modern forms. In the United States, newly wealthy and emerging from the Panic of 1873, this comparable era was dubbed the Gilded Age. In the United Kingdom, this era overlaps the end of what is called the Victorian era and the period known as the Edwardian era. For more information on styles
Style specificities:
The Belle Époque (in French "Belle Époque") is a period of European social history that began at the end of the 19th century starting from the Franco-Prussian War (1870-1871) and lasted until the First World War (1914-1918).
Taking place during the French Third Republic and the German Empire, the "Belle Époque" was named retrospectively, when it began to be regarded as a "golden age": the great European powers, new technologies improved life, and commercial arts adapted Renaissance and 18th-century styles to modern forms.
In the United States, newly wealthy and emerging from the Panic of 1873, this comparable era was called the "Gilded Age." In the United Kingdom, this era coincides with the end of the Victorian era and the period called the "Edwardian era."
In the Belle Époque, coal and cheap labor contributed to the orchid craze and enabled the perfection of fruit grown under glass, while the apparatus of state dinners extended to the upper classes; champagne was perfected during the Belle Époque. Exotic feathers and furs played a more important role than ever in fashion, haute couture was invented in Paris, the center of the Belle Époque, where fashion began to evolve on an annual cycle; in Paris, restaurants such as Maxim's reached new splendor and prestige by becoming parade grounds for the wealthy, and the Opéra Garnier devoted immense spaces to staircases, similar showplaces.
After mid-century, railways connected all the major cities of Europe to spa towns such as Biarritz and Deauville; their carriages were strictly divided into first and second class, but the wealthiest began to order private carriages, exclusivity being the hallmark of opulent luxury. The bohemian lifestyle acquired a different glamour, practiced in the cabarets of Montmartre.

Nine old brilliant-cut diamonds with an estimated weight of ± 0.29 ct. (color and clarity: F/J, vs/i).
