ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

This exquisite work of wearable art was clearly a labor of love. Beautifully designed with iconic elements of the Art Nouveau era, it is a small masterpiece to hang at your neckline. Wrapped around a sinuous open oval of 18K gold with a subtle textured finish, a graceful vine shimmering with green enamel bears a trio of flower buds and one full bloom colored with iridescent enamel and centered by a freshwater pearl. Complementing the lovely organic appeal of the pendant and adding a bit of motion, an elegant freshwater wing pearl dangles below. An utterly alluring artisanal jewel. Hand fabricated in 18K gold - circa 1900 - it suspends from a fine cable chain that adjusts from 16 to 18 inches.

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.
