This was very true due to the gorgeous designs that came out of this period. This era focused on women, and the beauty of nature, and pieces were often large.

Enamel was a standard material used in Art Nouveau jewelry, as the period was more focused on the importance of design than the materials used to create it. The Art Nouveau period took place before the start of World War I, when mass production took over the production of many items, including some jewelry. Gold filled jewelry consists of a solid layer of gold bonded to a base metal, and 5% of its weight must come from gold.

This solid layer of gold is laid over a base of sterling silver or another type of metal to produce a high-quality gold appearance. Moghul 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 pieces of jewelry. While the Mughal empire conquered the majority of India, the 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. Rubies are one of the four precious gemstones and are appreciated for their colors ranging from pink to blood red. The most prized hue of ruby is called blood red, or pigeon blood, for the rich and vibrant hue it presents. The color of a ruby comes from the element chromium. Rubies adorn royal and religious jewelry for centuries and were particularly cherished in Asian countries like China and India, where they were believed to bring good fortune. Rubies are graded by color, clarity, size, and carat. Rubies are often also evaluated based on their geographic origin.

Lead glass was cut and polished with a metallic powder until it sparkled like a diamond in the light. These white "diamante" or "strass" stones were very popular among glamorous Parisians, and eventually paste stones were colored to imitate other gemstones.
