This was true due to the stunning designs that emerged from this period. This era was inspired by the beauty of women and the natural world, and the resulting pieces were often large and elegant. Enamel was a commonly used material in Art Nouveau jewelry, as the period emphasized the importance of design over the materials used to create it.

The Art Nouveau period occurred before the start of World War I, when mass production took over the production of many products, including some jewelry. Mughal jewelry emerged in India under the Mughal dynasty, starting from the 16th century.

Jewelry was an important symbol indicating a person's status in society. The elite wore highly ornate and heavily jeweled pieces. While the Mughal Empire conquered the majority of India, Mughal style spread to many other regions, being incorporated into many Indian cultures. Pieces typically feature intricate patterns, massive amounts of gemstones, and elaborate enameling. Enameling originally dates back to ancient Persians of Meenakari.

The technique involves fusing powdered glass onto a base, usually gold, through firing (heating and melting the glass onto the metal). The glass hardens to form a layer of pigment on the metal.

Enamel is made of colored powdered glass or may include transparent powdered glass mixed with colored metallic pigments. It was used by ancient Egyptians, Greeks, and Celts; and later by the Chinese and Georgians. It regained popularity in the 20th century. It is primarily used on decorative art or jewelry, usually in small sizes.

In addition to jewelry, enamel can also be applied to glass, ceramics, stone, and various other materials. Domestic US: All items are shipped within one business day after receipt of payment.
