Everything, or at least quite a lot, started with the French jewelleer René Lalique, who presented his works in a completely new style at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900 - a multicolored dragonfly, a necklace resembling a forest fleece and a tiara with a rooster's head. And then it started. While the works were artistically received with enthusiasm, potential clients rather doubted that art nouveau had a practical beauty. However, art nouveau jewellery is used to this day, although the accessories are not so colorful and extravagant, jewelers draw many ideas from this style, turning their inspiration into beautiful animal motifs, very delicate and making an amazing impression at the same time.
