The movement began as a way of reviving craftsmanship, revolting against industrialization, and in an effort to revive the charm and spirituality found in handcrafting items. Artists during this movement used innovative and natural materials in unusual combinations and crafted pieces that integrated labor and art in society, blended beauty and affordability, and emphasized simplicity, honesty, and nature, to achieve stunning visual effects. Jewelry during this time was inspired by the natural environment, often featuring leaf, bird, and flower motifs, and was crafted with materials selected for their aesthetic properties rather than their intrinsic economic value. These pieces included metals such as copper, brass, and silver and beautiful, lessor known gemstones, such as moonstones, opals, garnets, and turquoise, often cut and polished into cabochons. The use of these materials allowed the exceptional craftsmanship of each piece to be the focus point. Ironically these pieces became sought after by artistic connoisseurs of the elite middle class. - The Portuguese Cut Gemstone - The Portuguese cut gemstone is an exceptional and unique cut that features several tiers of facets, creating a mesmerizing display of light. This unique gemstone cut is very labor intensive, requires many facets, and the rough must have a greater than normal depth. These factors combined make this a very rare and hard to find gemstone cut.
