Summertime is particularly suited to the one-of-a-kind exoticism of jewels redolent of historic eras: the more than bearable lightness of the Belle Époque era, with it’s lacy elegance; the relaxing geometry of Art Deco repetition; the calming Natural realm represented in Art Nouveau; the infinitely broad choice of ornate motifs apparent during Queen Victoria’s long reign, promoting the unique language of flowers with secret, not-so-discreet messages, popularly featuring garnets, agate, citrines, and split-pearls with enamel embellishment; the artistry of tiny Georgian portrait miniatures; the mythical symbols of Antiquity in classical Renaissance Revival.
