A lot of the time when I reblog jewellery on here, it’s art nouveau jewellery, because I really like art nouveau. In general, and in jewellery in particular. And most of that is the aesthetic. I like the natural forms, I like the twisty curly bits, I like the use of materials, I like how a lot of art nouveau jewellery is using metals and stones and other materials to create a specific form, an insect or a plant or a goddess or even sometimes nature scenes. I like …
I feel like a lot of the time with jewellery, it feels like ‘I’m going to use this object to show off the size and value of my pretty rock’. And there’s nothing wrong with that. Some of those rocks are indeed gorgeous. But art nouveau feels more ‘I’m going to use these pretty rocks, and several other things, to create the impact of this object’? I just love the use of materials, glass and enamel and colour, as well as precious stones and metals, to create a form or a scene.
Like, you get a diamond ring, it’s a diamond ring. But you get something like a dragonfly brooch (Louis Acoc):
Tumblr media
Or a lilypad hair comb (Rene Lalique):
Tumblr media
Or a wisteria branch (Georges Fouquet):
Tumblr media
And it’s a whole creation. A little wearable piece of art.
And I don’t want to sound too dismissive. I know the craftmanship and skill and artistry that goes into any kind of jewellery making. That diamond ring took skill I will never have. I just.
I like the emphasis on form more than material that you get with art nouveau. Like normally you hear ‘glass jewellery’, ‘enamel jewellery’, and it’s cheap, it’s frowned upon, but in art nouveau it’s what that glass or enamel was used to make that’s the important part:

(Eugene Feuillatre)
Anyway. In summary, I really, really, really like art nouveau jewellery?

Wearing maximalist fashion is so funny because like… I’ll be looking at an outfit I’m planning and go “hmm… It’s missing something. Several things, actually.”

ok i already redesigned Gem after seeing a very very pretty dress. So I did a bit more thinking and some more Prism research and I have an idea of how she works in this AU now :D
She still has a bit of the elven theme but I wanted to focus more on how flowy the fabrics were and also give her more armor pieces. The armor is based more on porcelain corsets rather than actual armor tho lol
In Prism a magical girl's power is defined by how many colors they have, how much the colors appear on their outfit, and how vibrant the colors are. Generally girls only have two colors: a main and an accent. Gem has a very vibrant main color, but her accent color (yellow) is very minimal, so technically she is not that powerful. Shes like mid-to-low tier power-wise. But she does not look that way and though she's not as powerful, she lasts a long time in a fight. It takes a good while for her vibrancy to go down.
Her weapon is a staff that is very good at bonking people. It can extend out into different lengths and thats about all it can do lol. Simple and effective
Her Prism's name is still Mackenzie, a very playful prism who enjoys pranking and hiding, particularly in clothing. She is a gremlin
In the story, Gem was a nurse who worked primarily in the ER department, so every once in a while she will have a magical girl or two rushing someone into the ER because of yknow villain fights and stuff. She got curious about it and dragged Pearl into joining her.

This is random, but imagine the people from Cut Yourself on My Glass Plate and One Bad End is Enough meet.
CYMGP!Cale and OBEE!Cale be staring at each other contemplating the weirdness of the situation.
The hyungs, roksoo(s) would be watching over their dongsaeng while also ignoring everything and just relaxing like everything's normal. (they also be thinking on how their prallel dongsaeng also suffering in another world)
Alberu(s) be regretting their fate as the bad guy together at the side, but CYMGP!Alberu would be envying his other self a little because he got it better.
Same as the others.
And then let's throw in Cale Henituse and His Stupidly Idiotically Powerful Brother.
Our (literally) teen cale be looking at other himselfs in a mess of emotions. He doesnt know whether to be concern or scared to find out about his fate if roksoo isnt here. Yeah he's going to settle on confuse and dont give a fuck on everything else.
The hyung(s) though are discussing quite suspiciously at the side, hmm maybe another scamming plan. (HIS roksoo may have nonchalantly said of going into tboah world to smack that Alberu in the back, which brings on to this vicious discussion)
(Alberu(s) and the others definitely wanted to join too)
Now what if we throw in a young kid!cale, still pure, untainted and a ball of puppy sunshine.
Wonder what would happen?
