Art Nouveau detached itself from symbolism as a result of the authenticity of the time.

It is actually the first movement that comes almost entirely avoids imitation of previous styles such as Renaissance, Baroque, Neoclassicism, Romanticism and etc. New techniques also come into life to serve the needs of new identity on the border of the centuries.

They converted the jeweler status from an artisian to an artist. The center of their style becomes expressions of nature such as flowers, leaves, twisted stems, insects and others.
