Rolled gold is a hybrid metal consisting a thick layer of gold that is fused by heat to create one or both sides of a base metal of brass or copper. Usually rolled gold consists of 5% gold. This process was patented in England in 1817; it became popular in the 1920's and 1930's and was used in high quality vintage jewellery. Rolled gold is better quality than gold plated jewellery.
Art Nouveau is an ornamental style of art that became popular between about 1890 and 1910. It is characterised by its use of long organic curved lines and shapes intertwined with flowers and foliage and used in jewellery, fabrics and art designs.
