Antique Art Nouveau enamel and natural pearl necklace
Art Nouveau jewellery was often inspired by nature as can be seen in this very attractive antique Art Nouveau enamel and natural pearl necklace. Dating from the start of the 1900's, this pendant is so feminine and has its beauty emphasised by the beautiful soft colours in the enamel. Made in 9ct gold, the soft pink and green colours really accentuate the flower and leaf designs. All of this is further enhanced by the natural pearls set into the pendant with the larger one suspended from the bottom. The way this necklace sits on the neckline will have it being admired every time that it is worn and will always look so elegant day or night. Laid out from end to end the necklace measures 44cm and from the bottom of the pearl to the top of the pendant this distance measures 4.8cm or 5.8cm to the chain where the additional two pearls are set. So feminine and elegant, this Art Nouveau enamel and natural pearl necklace is just so beautiful and special. Stock# ES7606 Circa: 1900 $2,950 Stock# ES7606 Circa: 1900 $Sold
Art Nouveau demantoid garnet and pearl necklace
Demantoid garnets are one of the rarest gemstones in the world and come in a fantastic green colour and here they are set into this magnificent Art Nouveau demantoid garnet and pearl necklace that dates from the late 1800's. Art Nouveau jewellery from this period is easily characterised by often having an asymmetrical flowing design that can be seen here in this necklace. Set with five demantoid garnets and twenty one pearls in the main section, there is also a cluster of five more pearls surrounding one more at the top where the chain is connected. Made in 15ct gold, the colour of the gold has that wonderful antique colour to it and matches so well with the overall appearance and style of the necklace. Laid out from end to end, the chain which itself is of a lovely unique design, measures 41cm and from the top cluster of pearls to the bottom of the pendant, this section measures 5cm making this the perfect length and proportions to wear all the time and is destined to be commented and admired. There is nothing quite like genuine Art Nouveau jewellery, and this demantoid garnet and pearl necklace is no exception. Stock# ES7131cc Circa: 1895 $Sold.
