Therefore, antique jewellery is the best choice to gift to your loved ones irrespective of the occasion. Here is a quick guide to let you understand the different design elements in antique jewellery.

Antique Jewellery of the Art Deco Era

The 16th century was a period when art heavily gravitated towards symmetry in design and shape. Therefore, antique jewellery of this era has design elements in various geometrical shapes showing uniformity and neatness. Often dark colours were extensively used to bring out the inherent beauty of the form. Pearls, corals and crystals dominated the jewellery of this era. Some of the famous names of this era are Boucheron and Cartier.

Jewellery inspired by Art nouveau

The antique jewellery of this era was crafted in the 19th century. The design elements were inspired by the French school of Art and Architecture with its typical natural forms and curved outlines inspired from leaves, vines and flowers. The antique jewellery of this era is still in great demand and is known for the creativity and free form of expression.

Filigree Jewellery

The range of jewellery is characterized by the delicate and intricate ornamentation done in the jewellery pieces. The materials in vogue were gold, silver and white gold. The jewellery pieces are often highly priced because of the expertise and the delicacy of the work involved.
