ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Dating back to turn-of-the-20th-century (circa 1900), this intriguing hand fabricated Art Nouveau pendant by The Brassler Co.* beams beautifully with a, honey-amber colored citrine, weighing 12.00 carats. The enchanting gemstone is encircled by small lustrous white pearls and a subtly textured 14K yellow gold frame. The newer chain measures 18 inches.

*Hans Brassler was a wonderfully imaginative designer who created jewels and other fine objects during the first half of the 20th century. He was born in Germany, studied jewelry design in Paris, and is rumored to have medaled at the 1900 Exposition Universelle. In 1909, he founded The Brassler Company in Newark, New Jersey where he served as artistic director and chief designer. Over the next half-dozen years he experimented with the Art Nouveau, Arts & Crafts, classical, and even early Art Deco themes of the early 1900s, to create innovative, original cufflinks, brooches, pendants and other jewels.

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.
