Art Nouveau French Mother-of-pearl brooch, 18k yellow gold, pearl

About the Item

This brooch is an exquisite piece of jewelry that fuses classic elegance with a naturalistic and ornamental touch. Its gold structure features an organic design with intertwined floral and leaf motifs, typical of the Art Nouveau style, characterized by its sinuous shapes and clear inspiration from nature. The center of the piece is dominated by a slab of mother-of-pearl, whose surface lends a soft, ethereal glow, creating a harmonious contrast with the textured gold of the frame. The leaves and branches appear to grow around the mother-of-pearl, delicately framing it. A small pearl is inlaid at the bottom, above a gold flower. The mother-of-pearl and pearl reinforce the connection with the natural world. The goldwork displays an exceptional level of artisanal detail, with finely engraved textures that mimic the appearance of leaves, typical of jewelry from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when nature was one of the primary sources of artistic inspiration. This brooch is not just a piece of jewelry, but a true expression of the Art Nouveau ideal: an art that blends with nature, enhancing its beauty in every detail.
