In Art Nouveau (Modernisme), jewelry gained great prominence for its decorative forms and inspiration from nature. The two most important centers were Paris and Brussels. Modernist jewelry is considered an ornament, but it gains meaning according to its shape and the setting where it is worn, as if it were a mythical object. Its themes are the woman and nature. The lines are fluid and floral, the forms sinuous; it is the narration of a strange world.
