ABOUT THIS JEWELRY

The beauty of Art Nouveau design is that its artistry elevates the most humble of nature's offerings. In this exquisitely rendered, multidimensional brooch by Bippart, Griscom & Osborn, a glossy sage-colored turquoise cabochon is enwrapped by the iconic Nouveau whiplash and reeds of cattails--that truly appear to be swaying in the wind--creating a graceful design that shimmers softly with pastel-colored enamel. A lustrous flat drop freshwater pearl adds a dancing flourish to this lovely and artful assemblage. Circa 1900. In 14K gold, it measures 1 1/2 by just over 1 1/2 inches. The intrinsic bail allows it to be worn as a pendant.

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.
