Fonctions :	Art Nouveau was a romantic " handcraft" movement of jewellery design that began in Italy in the 1890's lasting until around 1910. This movement focused on graceful curves and asymmetrical forms. Enamelling was popular during this movement. Cloisonn‚ enamelling is when strips of metal are soldered to the base, and the enamel is flowed into cells that are formed. The name cloisonn‚ is derived from cloison meaning cell. Pliqu‚ a Jour is an enamelling process like cloisonn‚ although there is no base so that when held to the light it resembles stained glass. Enamelling has been in and out of vogue since ancient times with particular popularity during the Renaissance and in the 19th century to the end of the Art Nouveau period. Some of the most famous enamelling work was done by Carl Faberg‚.
