French Jewelry – For The Diva In You
France – the original land of chivalry, the country of the intrepid four musketeers, and the kingdom of the beautiful and infamous Marie Antoinette. There is something about French fashion and jewelry that never goes out of style – whether the hint of sauciness or the unabashed glam and flamboyance. French jewelry, whether new or old, has that quality which makes a woman feel special.
French jewelry Over The Centuries
French jewelry has evolved over centuries, and each period brought in its distinct style. Jewelry before the 17th century was nothing out of the ordinary, but once trade routes to the East were opened, gems and stones became more accessible to the French jeweler. The specialty of this period was lavishly crafted gemstone studded jewels. The primary motifs for French jewelry 400 years back were flowers, vines, and leaves. Over the next 100 years, cutting, polishing and mounting gems became an art. Gems became more important to defining jewelry than gold, silver, or other rare metals.
The use of gemstones (diamonds, sapphires, rubies, emerald) opened the door to other materials such as pearls and coral. It was a time for experimentation, when creating jewelry for the court was considered high art. The French Revolution put an end to the aristocracy, and with it some of the more opulent traditions in jewelry. Almost a century later, jewelry making in France came into its own again thanks to the Art Nouveau era, followed by the Art Deco period of the early 20th century.
How To Buy
When purchasing antique jewelry online, you need to ensure that the product is genuine. While many online portals sell French jewelry inspired by modern as well as older styles, they may not always be genuine. Buying inexpensive French jewelry online is safe, but for jewelry crafted from precious metals and gems, you need to buy from certified jewelers. Fortunately, many celebrated jewelers sell their creations online. Their jewelry has a unique identifying hallmark and buyers are offered a certificate of genuineness.
Invest in antique jewelry or buy modern French jewelry for a timelessly elegant, chic look.
