Jugendstil is the German and Austrian counterpart to the more international Art Nouveau movement.

For that reason, the designs have similar characteristics as the art nouveau style - with some key differences. Most notably, Jugendstil tends to be more abstract than purely naturalistic. It included jewelry but also included all other art forms, like the visual arts and architecture.

On Hand-Etched or Hand-Carved Jewelry. Hand-made or hand-carved jewelry is valued because it is, by default, one of a kind.

Unlike machine-made pieces, a handmade piece can never be replicated in the exact same way, and so they will always reveal the at-the-moment intent of the individual maker. Often, the pieces have a distinctively visceral feel, as though you can sense the painstaking labor that went into every aspect. _gsrx_vers_1503 GS 9.2.1 (1503).
