A Storied Heritage
Art Nouveau pieces curve with enameled petals, flowing hair, and insect wings in plique-a-jour. Art Deco pieces align: calibre-cut stones in geometric channels, precisely symmetrical platinum settings, hard-edged contrasts. The materials shift too, from enamel and organic forms to diamonds and calibrated colored stones.
