The New Art Movement Era: the natural beauty of East West tntegration. In the late 19th century, art in the Eastern and Western worlds underwent earth shattering changes, and more cultural communication began between the East and the West. In 1862, Japan was first invited to participate in the International Industrial and Art Fair held in London. Japan showcased local traditional art at the expo, winning the attention of Europeans with its simple jewelry yet natural beauty inspired design style. Western artists began to seek inspiration from the Eastern world. At this time, Europeans were also tired of Victorian jewelry design and embarked on a new path of exploration.
The pioneers of the art movement emphasized that there are no straight lines in nature, and there is no complete plane in nature. In decoration, curves and organic forms are highlighted, and the motivation for decoration basically comes from natural forms. Artists seek an abstraction in the process of “learning from nature”, endowing natural forms with an organic symbolic atmosphere, and using sporty lines as the foundation of formal beauty.

The Art Nouveau style, as a type of decorative art style, undoubtedly reaches its peak in the jewelry field as Ren é Lalique’s Dragonfly Fairy.
Another art and jewelry master, Philippe Wolfers, cannot be ignored. He was born into the European art and jewelry family WOLFERS, and his excellent genes are undoubtedly evident in this art master. He is very skilled in showcasing the artistic temperament of his works through material selection, design, and expression. The perfect fusion of classical and modern elements highlights the design style, and on this basis, the art of jewelry design is maximized.
