History:
Alongside Art Nouveau, the Belle Époque style developed. It then represents the mainstream.
This current is largely inspired by the French decorative arts of the 18th century and is characterized by the use of platinum and the finesse of the jewels. Louis Cartier will deeply mark this era.
The First World War put an end to this style but will significantly influence Art Deco.
