ABOUT THIS BROOCH

In the enchanted garden of vintage flowers, exquisite varieties flourish and sparkle. We picked this one just for you. The delightful Art Nouveau bloom centers on a European-cut diamond that glitters in a surround of small iridescent petals nestled in the midst of diamond-accented plique-a-jour enamel petals in translucent shades of spring green and lemon yellow. Diamond-tipped pistils and a golden stem--bearing a single enameled leaf--complete this precious pin. Finding it utterly irresistible, a tiny pearl-bodied bug with twinkling diamond-set wings has decided to sit for a while. Circa 1900. Total diamond weight, .57 carat. Hand fabricated in silver over 18K gold.

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.
