ABOUT THIS BROOCH

Although modest in size, this exquisitely restrained bar brooch by Newark, New Jersey, jeweler Krementz represents the essence of the Art Nouveau era, beautifully displaying its iconic design aesthetic. The brooch's elongated navette shape is centered by a highly favored motif of the period, the female face. With her head slightly tilted, her flowing tresses extend east and west, perfectly blending with graceful, sinuous flowers, both she and the blooms subtly colored with shimmering pastel enamel. Crafted in 14K yellow gold, circa 1900. Condition note: After a century and a quarter the enamel shows some wear.

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.
