Description
Romanticism style belt buckle with multicolored glass stones mounted in "montée à jour" method.
With the Romanticism movement that flourishes around 1820 the jewels are adorned with new motifs. It is characterized by a desire to express one's moods, exalting mystery and fantasy, exoticism and the past. Women particularly like to wear harmonious ensembles dominated by semi-precious stones or glass colored stones mounted in "montée à jour" method (no metal background) technique that enhances the refraction of light on the facets of cut stones.
