This era drew inspiration from the beauty of women and the natural world, resulting in pieces that are often large and elegant. Enamel was a commonly used material in Art Nouveau jewelry, as this 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 appeared 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. As the Mughal empire conquered most of India, Mughal style spread to many other regions and was incorporated into many Indian cultures. Pieces typically feature intricate patterns, massive amounts of gemstones, and elaborate enameling. French jeweler Georges Frédéric Strass created "paste" as an alternative to diamonds in the Georgian era. Lead glass was cut and polished with a metallic powder until it sparkled like a diamond in the light. These white "diamond" or "strass" stones were very popular with glamorous Parisian women, and paste stones were eventually colored to imitate other gemstones.
