Abstract
The 19th century historicism is characterized by a series of fashion styles in jewellery appearing successively in the first half of the century and continuing, in some cases in parallel, to the end of the century. Around 1850 Realism, still retaining some elements of Biedermeier, prevails in the art of jewellery-making. After 1860, various historicist trends predominate - the "archaeological style", the Neo-Renaissance, the Neo-Baroque and the Neo-Rococo, sometimes the Neo-Louis XVI - appearing as influences in the jewellery making, only sometimes as direct imitations. The author analyses a typical example of each of these stylistic tendencies and the material used. The majority of objects come originally from European countries known for jewellery production - Austria, Germany, ltaly, France. All the objects published are part of the holdings of the Arts and Crafts Museum in Zagreb.
