The History
This beautiful piece was made during a period called the Art Nouveau Era! This time was also called \"La Belle Epoque\" in French, which translates to \"A Beautiful Time.” This was very true due to the gorgeous designs that came out of this period. The Art Nouveau period was famous for its flowing organic designs, flowing ladies, flowing floral designs, and regal designs. This period was in existence from 1890-1914.
Corundum Alexandrite was an extremely popular gem stone during the Art Deco era! During this period, natural Alexandrite was nearly impossible to get your hands on due to how rare it was. In response, Corundum Alexandrite started to be produced and was priced as high as natural gem stones, as people loved the incredible color pattern!All packages are sent via USPS First Class Insured Mail unless another shipping option is chosen by the buyer.
