ABOUT THIS NECKLACE

Lucien Gaillard was a French jeweler known for his use of Japanese themes and mixed metal work. In 1860, Ernest Gaillard took over his father’s Parisian jewelry workshops and began focusing on silver jewelry and, in 1878, his work won a silver medal at the Paris International Exposition. This highly distinctive necklace fits close to the neck and centers on a curved openwork plaque, connected to double cable chains, with a bold floral design framed by the era's iconic whiplash motif. Art Nouveau artistry—and a captivating conversation piece—to grace your neck. Total length, including width of focal piece, currently measures 16 inches. We also show it tightened as a choker and can remove links for a custom fit according to your preference.

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.
