Mucha's series on precious stones/gems is one of his best, and a little lesser known than the rest of his work--the original has the labels underneath, saying 'Topaz, Ruby, Amethyst, Emerald':

Mucha
Famous Czech Alphonse Mucha [1860-1939] was a great art nouveau artist--the flowy lines and neo-classical raiment are gorgeous. Usually people are more familiar or prefer art deco, with it's Mondarin-esque sense, Poirot air, majesty and geometric stability. Mucha is one area where art nouveau clearly outstrips it's later rival. While it's flowing tone can look strange on buildings and sculpture, it looks great in art.
