Foliate motifs in antique jewelry have a rich and diverse history spanning several centuries, with significant prominence during the Art Nouveau and Victorian periods. Inspired by the beauty of nature, artisans of the time incorporated intricate leaf, vine, and floral designs into their creations. In the Victorian era, jewelry adorned with foliate motifs symbolized sentiments such as renewal, growth, and love for the natural world. The Art Nouveau movement, which emerged in the late 19th century, celebrated organic forms and emphasized the fluidity of nature. Foliate motifs became a hallmark of this period, with jewelry designers embracing curvilinear lines and incorporating flowing leaves, tendrils, and blossoms into their pieces. Today, antique jewelry featuring foliate motifs from these periods continues to captivate collectors and enthusiasts, preserving the artistry and connection to the natural world from a bygone era. On Edwardian. The Edwardian period (also known as the Bell Epoch or beautiful era) from 1901 - 1910 was chiefly characterized by elegant, monochromatic designs in platinum, white gold, and silver, fitted with sparkling gemstones or glass. This was a time of affluence and progress for much of the world. As the Victorian era faded, traditionally-minded designers crafted pieces that felt as classic as Victorian jewelry but had a lighter feel and often ethereal look. Designs like the négligée necklace - asymmetrical and delicate - became popular. _gsrx_vers_1516 (GS 9.3 (1516))
