The Art Nouveau pin is stamped with maker's workshop mark, French hallmark for 18 karat gold.
Art Nouveau jewelry is rooted in the Arts and Crafts Movement that implemented art in each aspect of the daily life. During late 1800s, that movement, together with the Japonisme, influenced many artists and inspired them to create gorgeous and very special Art Nouveau jewelry pieces.
To grasp the essence of Art Nouveau, take a look at the curvy lines of the Paris metro entrances or the artwork of Lalique. In visual art such names as Gustav Klimt and Toulouse-Lautrec greatly represent the movement. Same flowing, moving lines and natural forms are the staples of the jewelry in Art Nouveau style. Pieces acquire mystical, mellow, and softened appearance. The shapes often have a very well pronounced decorative aspect that supports the artistic approach to the jewelry making.
To compose the objects of nature and make it look original, makers had to be highly skilled. That’s why the Art Nouveau jewels are so meticulously made. Enamel work of that time is still considered as the all-time finest. It’s hard to overcome the enamel technique that was able to recreate a translucent effect of an insect wing or flower petal.

Since we started to make our very first steps into the jewelry world, vintage brooches and pins have always been our favorite pieces. Wearing a brooch is a smart, unique way to express your personality and style. Pin it to your lapel, scarf or a bag, and with just one brooch alone you can create the whole new fashion piece out of any garment or accessory. Some brooches could be worn as pendants, so you get two pieces in one. A brooch is an amazing jewel that is fun, elegant and expressive at the same time.
French vintage brooches are even more special to us. Being famous for its extraordinary craftsmanship, each French maker has their own recognizable take on it. Either it’s a prestigious Cartier or Van Cleef & Arpels or non-branded French brooch, we appreciate its sophisticated beauty and exquisite quality. One of our all-time favorites is a dress clip. The design came from 1920s and since then has been appreciated by the jewelry lovers for versatility and original look it provides to any style. Choose and pin down your own fabulous version of a Vintage French brooch.
