Prior to the Art Nouveau movement, jewellery art featuring feminine motifs was widely regarded as inappropriate and lacking in taste. It was only with the advent of Art Nouveau that jewellery designs centred on female faces or figures gradually became mainstream. Female depictions were no longer constrained and demure as in the Victorian era, but rendered more graceful, poised and noble.
