[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 9433123, member: 2844"]Rococo is an 18th century style. The name is derived from 'rocaille', a curly asymmetrical design motif that was first used in the Baroque period. Rococo came after Baroque, and while rocailles and other curls were used, they were much lighter in look and weight than Baroque. It is more 'frivolous' than the heavy flamboyance of Baroque. There was a revival of the Rococo style in the 19th century.[/QUOTE]
