Style
Between the Victorian era and Art Nouveau, Victorian decorative arts refer to the style of decorative arts from the Victorian period. This era is known for its eclectic revival and interpretation of historical styles, as well as the introduction of cross-cultural influences from the Middle East and Asia into furniture, fittings, and interior decoration. Victorian design is widely regarded as having shown a regrettable excess of ornamentation.
The Arts and Crafts movement, aesthetic movement, Anglo-Japanese style, and Art Nouveau have their origins at the end of the Victorian era. Art Nouveau (in French, "Nouveau Style") is an international movement and an artistic, architectural, and applied style—especially the decorative arts—which reached its peak at the turn of the 20th century (1890-1905).
The term "Art Nouveau" means "new art" in French. It is also known as "Jugendstil," which means "youth style" in German, after the magazine Jugend, which promoted it, and in Italy, as the Liberty style, from the London department store Liberty & Co., which popularized it. As a reaction to 19th-century academic art, it is characterized by organic motifs, especially floral and other plant motifs, as well as fluid and stylized curvilinear forms.
Art Nouveau is an approach to design in which artists should work on everything from architecture to furniture, integrating art into everyday life.

All the diamonds we offer are checked by the IJGC to determine whether they are natural or synthetic, and all the diamonds in this piece of jewelry are guaranteed 100% natural.
Precious stones
Two red stones, one blue and one green. We have not checked whether these are natural stones.
It is very common to treat gemstones to intensify their clarity or color. The item in question has not been tested for this.
