This was true due to the stunning designs that emerged during this period. This era drew inspiration from 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. Mogul jewelry emerged in India under the Mogul dynasty, starting in 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 Mogul Empire conquered most of India, the Mogul style spread to many other regions, being incorporated into many Indian cultures. The pieces typically feature intricate patterns, massive amounts of gemstones, and elaborate enameling.

French jeweler Georges Frédéric Strass created "paste" as an alternative to diamonds during the Georgian era. Lead glass was cut and polished with a metallic powder until it shone like a diamond in the light. These white stones, called "diamante" or "strass," were very popular among glamorous Parisians, and eventually the paste stones were colored to imitate other gemstones.
