Art Nouveau French 18K gold double chimera griffon dragon pendant brooch
About the Item
Let’s step into the enchanting world of the Art Nouveau era with this exceptionally rare and captivating French-made double chimera pendant brooch. Crafted with unparalleled skill, this piece seamlessly weaves together the essence of nature and mythology, showcasing a mesmerising fusion of design elements that define the Art Nouveau movement.
At the heart of this exquisite creation are two chimeras, mythical creatures derived from ancient Greek legends, symbolizing strength, vitality, and the harmonious coexistence of diverse forms. The intertwining foliated scrolls and delicate flower patterns evoke the spirit of nature's untamed beauty.
Commanding attention at the center is a captivating old-cut diamond, elegantly cut into a triangular form, weighing approximately 0.3 carats. Complementing this central gem are three rose-cut diamonds, a vivid red ruby and a pear-shaped pearl (probably natural), each delicately accentuating the brooch pendant's design with their understated shimmer. The piece is stamped with the French eagle’s head hallmark for 18K gold on the back and it has two tiny hoops on the back to pass a very fine chain.
Whether worn as a pendant or pinned as a brooch, this remarkable piece is an invitation to revel in the elegance and significance of Art Nouveau jewelry and an unique representation of force, energy, and the enduring charm of a bygone era.
