Art Nouveau & Edwardian: (1890 – 1915)

A transition into the early 20th century—a period marked by a departure from Victorian weight in favour of lightness and fluidity. This collection archives two distinct movements: the Art Nouveau, which utilised yellow gold and enamel to celebrate organic, asymmetrical forms; and the Edwardian era, which saw the mastery of platinum to create a delicate, lace-like aesthetic of diamonds and pearls. Together, these pieces represent a peak in hand-craftsmanship, capturing the brief, ethereal window before the shift toward the sharp geometric precision of the Art Deco.
