ABOUT THIS BROOCH

Created by the masterful French jewelry artist Camille Gueyton, this enchanting Art Nouveau ivy brooch features three leaves of frosted plique-à-jour enamel in hues of light lavender and mint green, trimmed in bright 18K yellow gold and twinkling with a trio of single-cut diamonds. Hand fabricated, circa 1900, the collectible work of wearable art is accompanied by its original box from the renowned Tadema Gallery of London. The Tadema Gallery was owned by Sonya and David Newell-Smith. David was a famous photojournalist in the 60s and 70s as well as a fashion photographer (his image of the model Twiggy is iconic!) This brooch is featured as an illustration in the book Tadema Gallery London: Jewellery from the 1860s to the 1960s, and pieces from the gallery are found in museums all over the world, making this jewel an exquisite treasure for collectors and connoisseurs.

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.
