Judging from the close-up shots (illustrations 1, 2, & 5) the genre of prehistoric insect immortalized in this perfectly ovular Honey Amber Cabochon is a Centipede. At least, that is my extremely uninformed visual opinion. I know nothing about Jurassic insects. However, if it's an as yet unknown species, this piece may have more value as a paleoentomological artifac t than it does as an Amber gemstone.

However, I do know a little about jewelry. The Marcasite bejeweled, undulating ribbons in the setting and nature aesthetic, right down to the use of Amber, dates this piece to the Art Nouveau Era. The style was vastly different in aesthetic with its free-floating forms inspired by the natural world, innovative materials, and entirely new design principles. Artist-Jewelers chose to work with semi- and even non-precious materials, and their creations are treasured for their originality and design excellence, rather than the intrinsic value of raw materials. The ring is a size 6 and weighs 8 grams. It is marked (illustration 3) Twin Peaks "TH" and (illustration 8) 925. Motifs, Materials & Makers of Art Nouveau Jewelry. The Art Nouveau period c. 1914, although brief, had a significant impact on jewelry design and on other disciplines of fine and decorative art.

A time of growing wealth and a flourishing arts scene, it was the perfect opportunity for experimentation with new techniques, materials, and motifs. Created by a select group of avant-garde artists. Jewelry originated in France, Belgium and other parts of Europe, and marked the transformation from the Victorian period to the modern. In part a reaction to increasingly mass-manufactured jewelry, the style was vastly different in aesthetic with its free-floating forms inspired by the natural world, innovative materials, and entirely new design principles. It reinvigorated what had become a formulaic naturalism with new forms drawn from outside sources, including the Arts and Crafts movement in Great Britain and the.
