ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

In the artistically experimental, nature-inspired period known as Art Nouveau, roughly from 1890 to 1910, it was not uncommon for artisans to craft gold jewelry in combination with glass and synthetic gemstones. This pretty necklace is just such a piece, as confirmed under magnification by our gemologists, but you'd never guess to look at it. Rich, regal purple synthetic spinels and shimmering glass pearls are set in a classic Art Nouveau stylized floral silhouette, beautifully crafted in 10k rosy-yellow gold, with pretty leaf accents in subtly contrasting 14k green gold. Suspended from a newly-made 14 karat gold rope chain, this lovely pendant measures 1 1/2 inches long by 3/4 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.
