It is no surprise that the French have had a significant impact on the design of modern jewellery. The French have an impact on clothing design, architectural design and every other facet of the arts. In the early 1890s, the French influence brought a move to the arts called Art Nouveau, also known as New Art. This style moved jewellery away

to emerge in jewellery designs. The biggest and most influential drive of fashion does come out of Paris. Paris is the Mecca for the majority of European art designs in all mediums.Although this art movement originated out of the 1890s, its imprint can seen in the modern jewellery of today. At the time of the movement, jewellery design was updating older designs with a more modern twist. Today, jewellery designers are putting their own modern flair on the more classical dated masterpieces. This French impact on the fashion world of jewellery has lead to the subtle designs that need to be slowly appreciated.Upon a first glance, one may overlook subtle nuances of texture or the use of delicate and unconventional materials that used in a piece. A piece that has been designed by an accomplished jewellery designer is a masterpiece of art and not to be simply taken as an adornment to an outfit. Because this movement was one that broke away from previous strict guidelines and rules, one may have to take the time to study, visit museums and thoroughly delve into the world of Art Nouveau to be able to tell real pieces and replications apart. There was a lot of exploration, rule bending and new found creativity, so it is easy to fool an inexperienced eye.One of the most influential jewellery techniques that came out of the French Art Nouveau movement is enameling. Enameling can be considered to be similar to stained glass. It gave jewellery pieces another dimension and allowed the jeweller’s true talent to be showcased in every piece. Sometimes, the metal would etched prior to applying a thin layer of translucent enamel. This technique was heavy used throughout the Russian Faberge period.
