Although Lalique was primarily a Glass Designer he was equally known for his beautiful Jewels.

He is particularly renowned for his designs of Vases,Chandeliers,perfume bottles and jewellery.

From his birth Ay in Marne,France in 1860, he loved nature and in his early teens he began to paint
He love natural History and the flowing forms of nature
Later this love of nature became one of his trademarks because of his unique style..

Rene studied drawing and design at the Colege Turgot.

His mother realised how much he loved painting and design and apprenticed him to Louis Aucoc a major Jeweller in Paris.

He also studied at the Ecole des Arts Decoratifs in the evenings and subsequently studied at Sydenham College in London England at a very fortunate time.

During his holidays back in Ay he drew sketches of nature and wildlife and this influenced his work throughout his life.

England was the the very centre of the Arts and Crafts movement and he was inspired not only by the artisits of that movement but also by what he saw at the Crystal Palace Exhibition.

In 1880 he returned to Paris where he studied Jewellery manufacturing and then sculpture under Justin Lequien at the Ecole Bernard Palissy.

This time influenced his later work as much of Palissy Pottery was relief decorated and had realistically modelled fish,lizards,snakes and plants.

From this background of Art and Design, he evolved flowing and often erotic designs and the influence of Palissy is shown in his vases
such as the Sauterelles and Martin Pecheurs designs .

His most famous single work is probably the Perruches bowl from the 1920s which had a frieze of beautiful moulded parakeets on Opalescent Glass.

In later years he became famous not only for art nouveau Glass but also for Art Nouveau Jewellery.
He became the most famous jeweller in Paris and supplied the Crowned Heads of Europe withjewellery and trinkets in the Art Nouveau Style.
His friendship with the famous actresss Sarah Bernhardt introduced him to a huge range of highly fashionable clients including the Oil Mogul Nubar Gulbenkian who became Renes major Patron

Almost all other classy Jewellers of the time hesitated to incorporate insects like Beetles or Dragonflies into their designs for fear of having multiple breakages of fragile limbs.

Rene Lalique had no such qualms - he designed and made his pieces better than the others and many of his stick pins and Tie Pins feature unusual and often fantastic insects - sometimes in pairs or groups.Art Nouveau pins,lalique Tie Pins,lalique mens jewelry,lalique jewelry

Art Nouveau Cufflinks were an esssential part of the dress for an Edwardian Era gentleman.
Dress Shirts were usually stiff and starched with detachable cuffs to make laundry easier for the staff and the exquisite Lalique Designs set off the whole ensemble.

It was not uncommon for Lalique and other Art Nouveau Jewellery for Men to incorporate Diamonds and precious stones but many of these have now found their way into museums.
Gold Cufflinks were the standard but I have also seeen lovely Platinum art Nouveau cufflinks and Silver art nouveau cufflinks from this era

Modern Lalique Jewellery follows the same traditions as the early pieces but the prices are more affordable than for original art nouveau cufflinks.
