sorry to "Earring (one of a pair)" at the Met Museum, but I desaturated you a little bit. mostly because, unlike herodotus's indian ants, I do not have free and easy access to gold.

mine on the left, argentium and pearls. the original on the right, gold and pearls.
(the other one of the pair is not pictured due to me not having made it yet.)

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:

(Rene Lalique)

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

Heroine choker necklace by Stephen Einhorn x Netflix, 2024
A collaboration inspired by the Netflix film 'Damsel'.
'Twenty roses fasten together to form an opulent choker which sits elegantly around the neck. In recycled Sterling silver and 18ct gold vermeil, each rose set with a deep red cultured ruby, this piece leans towards the grandiose. Lavish and daring, it is not for the faint of heart. With a magnetic choker this piece is wearable, smooth and easy to take on and off.' £1,750
