The original jewelry drawings by German painter Hans Holbein the Younger (1497-1543), court painter of King Henry VII of England, were the inspiration for this Neo-Renaissance style, 400 years later. Characteristic for “Holbeinesque” jewels are the little flowers in red-green-blue Cloisonné enamel.  The style became popular after the 1862 International Exhibition in London, where many exhibitors displayed “Holbeinesque” pieces, these last are rare to find nowadays.
