风格细节：Belle Époque（法语，意为“美丽时代”）是欧洲社会史中的一个时期，始于19世纪末的法普战争（1870-1871）并延续至第一次世界大战（1914-18）。

发生在法兰西第三共和国与德意志帝国时期，“Belle Époque”在回顾性命名中被视为欧洲列强的“黄金时代”，新技术改善了生活，商业艺术将文艺复兴与十八世纪的风格改造为现代形式。

在新富裕的美国，从1873年恐慌中崛起，类似的时期被称为镀金时代。英国这一时期则跨越了所称的维多利亚时代的末期与爱德华时期。

在 Belle Époque 时期，廉价煤炭与廉价劳动力促进了兰花崇拜，使玻璃房内培育的水果达到完美；国宴的制度也扩展到上流社会；香槟在 Belle Époque 时期被完善。奢华时装中珍稀羽毛与毛皮更为突出，巴黎成为时尚中心，时装开始进入年周期，Maxim’s 等餐厅在巴黎获得新的辉煌与声望，位于加尼耶歌剧院的楼梯区也被拓展成展示场所。

中叶以后，铁路把欧洲所有主要城市连结到比亚里茨与杜埃维尔等温泉小镇；它们的列车厢被严格分为一等与二等，但极富者如今开始订制私人铁路车厢，排他性成为奢华的标志。波希米亚式生活在蒙马特的卡巴莱里获得另一种魅力。

- Antique and vintage jewellery often undergoes thoughtful refurbishment, remodelling, or repairs to enhance its longevity and wearability. Such pieces frequently bear marks of this tender care. Furthermore, we present our antique and vintage jewellery in its authentic state, refraining from removing scratches or applying rhodium plating to white gold items. Our priority is to preserve the genuine allure and history of each piece. However, as the new owner, you have the option to take it to a local goldsmith for a cosmetic refresh, should you choose.
