I've long appreciated jewelry from the Art Nouveau period - the use of colors, metals, gemstones, and the whole nature mets fairy idea appeals to me. Even though it's the 21st century the designs from master jewelry designers such as Masriera still endure.

You can find out some great historical information about this artist and the movement as well as an explanation of the processes used to create this wonderful jewelry on the Masriera web site.

The pieces pictured in this post are from the web site of the Geoffrey Roth Ltd Gallery, located in Sedona, Arizona.
