ABOUT THIS BRACELET

A marvelous and poetic rarity, this suite of brooch and matched bracelets hail from the Art Nouveau or Arts and Crafts movement, circa 1900, and were inspired by the arts of Japan, and in particular the revered waterlily, the flower that in the same time period became something of an obsession for the French painter Claude Monet. Crafted in rosy 14 karat gold, with a velvety high-carat gold bloom on the flowers and patinated leaves with white and rose gold veining, these highly sculptural waterlilies float serenely at the wrist and on the lapel, with dazzling mine-cut diamonds at their centers. Refined and remarkable, the bracelets measure 7 inches in circumference, lilies are about an inch wide. Brooch measures 2 3/8 inches long, one inch wide.

About Art Nouveau Jewelry

Looking to go organic? Bummed out (with good reason) by the Industrial Revolution, Art Nouveau makers embraced the natural world and a return to the hand-craftsmanship of an earlier time. Their overlap with both the Victorian and Edwardian eras resulted in a great deal of cross-pollination. Though relatively short in its purest form, Art Nouveau’s flowing lines continued to weave their way into fine jewelry.

Jewelry Care

As with anything of value, especially sentimental value, taking good care of your vintage and antique jewelry from Lang will enhance its beauty and extend its lifespan. We encourage you to have your jewelry checked and cleaned by us or by your trusted local jeweler every six months, to ensure that each piece is in good wearable condition with all gemstones in place. It’s not uncommon for stones to loosen over time, and it’s much easier to tighten a loose stone than to replace a lost one! As stated in our Repair Policy, we strongly recommend that you allow us to perform any repairs, since our jewelers are specialists in restoring vintage and antique jewelry.
