Antique art nouveau is one of the most popular genres of antique art collecting because of the dynamic nature of the art movement. The fashion and jewelry of the art nouveau movement are fun and detailed, and offer collectors something beautiful to display and study. The antique jewelry of the art nouveau period emphasized aesthetics over value of materials, so semi precious stones such as moonstone, opal, amethyst, and freshwater pearls were quite popular. Enamel was also widely used in antique art nouveau jewelry and techniques such as cloisonné (gold wire is shaped and filled with enamel), champleve (metal wire is visible beneath the enamel), basse-taille, and plique a jour. Other popular materials in antique art nouveau jewelry included bone, copper, horn, shell, ivory and glass. Antique art nouveau is also known for its nature motifs, the Asian influence on style, symbolism, and the element of mystery and fantasy.
