BELLE EPOQUE
Conventionally dated from the end of the Franco-Prussian War in 1871 to the outbreak of World War I in 1914, the Belle Époque was a period characterised by optimism, economic prosperity, and technological, scientific and cultural innovations.
The exuberance and frivolity, that epitomised the heady era before the outbreak of World War I, have led to this period being called the Belle Époque.
Entering the Belle Époque jewellery world means coming into a monochromatic world, where diamonds and platinum prevail on the other materials, adorning lavish yet delicate jewels to complement the female silhouette.
