René Lalique began his career as a jeweller. His earliest pieces reproduced the codes that characterised the jewellery of the late 19th century, using precious stones and metals.<\/p>\n
He subsequently broke with tradition and – in the words of Emile Gallé – became “the inventor of modern jewellery”. René Lalique began to use glass, enamel, horn, ivory and semi-precious stones in his creations – it was no longer the cost of the material that counted, but the result. This approach was completely in line with the values of the Art Nouveau movement.<\/p>\n
