Baroque jewelry art
The art, which spans from about 1600 to 1775, 150 years, is one of the most versatile among the art eras. Noteworthy, the term “Baroque” came from Portuguese jewelers, meaning “irregular formed pearl”. Preceded by the renaissance, it succeeded by the neoclassicism style. In fact, differentiating early baroque works of art from the renaissance is not easy, especially for jewelry. First of all, because there is no cut-off date to separate the renaissance from the baroque period. According to experts, they divide Baroque period into three periods: Early Baroque (1600 to 1660), Late Baroque (1660 to 1725), and Rococo (1725 to 1775).
