Because the period emphasized the importance of design over the materials used to create it, enamel was a commonly used material in Art Nouveau jewelry. 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 Mughal 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 adorned jewelry pieces. As the Mughal Empire conquered the majority 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 in 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 paste stones were colored to mimic other gemstones.
