birthplace of the famous jeweler in Brussels in 1858 into a wealthy family. His father was the famous master silversmith, is known throughout Europe, Louis Wolfers.

And then in the world of art breaks art Nouveau, literally" blowing up" all its rules and customs. Wolfers lucky is the city of Brussels, where he lived, at the end of the XX century was a major cultural center, and Belgian capital played a major role in the development of modernism.
With the advent of the modern era, fundamental changes have occurred in the world of jewelry. Became important not only the cost of jewelry, but also their artistic value, design and beauty. If early decoration are mostly made of gold and the most expensive precious stones (diamonds, emeralds, rubies and sapphires), now the jewelers began to use other natural materials and stones – opal, moonstone, garnet, tourmaline, chalcedony, freshwater pearls, appreciating all of her beauty. And remembered about the enamel, to revive its use in the manufacture of jewelry.
In the late 90-х. Philip Wolfers, which by the time of the case for the production of tableware made from silver and the interior was quite nice, I decided to do a slightly different thing @- the development of jewelry. And he did @- from 1897 to 1905 gg Wolfers worked very productively and successfully. They were created more than 100 skillful splendid ornaments, these masterpieces of the Art Nouveau era.
