In Art Nouveau (Modernism), jewelry gained great prominence for decorative shapes and inspiration from nature. The two most important centers were Paris and Brussels. Modernist jewelry is considered an ornamental object, but it acquires meaning depending on its form and the environment in which it is worn, as if it were a mythical object. Its themes are woman and nature. The lines are fluid and floral, the shapes sinuous, it is the narration of a strange world.
