Art Nouveau Resurgence Abstact Moth Motif; Faux Electrum, Pearl

About the Item

Art Nouveau Resurgence Abstact Moth Motif, Faux Electrum, Giant Glass Pearl, Three Tiny Diamond Cut crystal Rhinestones flank the "wings" of each side of the moth. The wings have the swirl in organic nature of Art Nouveau but I couldn't help but wonder if they could blend with Streamline Moderne style of the midcentury. Smooth, polished surface contrasts with a Flourentine finish on one side of the wings. It is visible in the front where the wings curl forward. Being a challenging pair to identify, they are none-the-less stunning in very pale yellow appearance. It is unknown if this is real electrum, a mixture of gold and silver alloys (mainly). Testing is not advisable many times because it can damage the piece. The exact alloy (metal) of this pair is unknown. They are so unusual that I don't want to risk making them unwearable. Because of their uniqueness, I couldn't take my eyes off of them. Electrum is gorgeous in it's in-between-ness of color. It is neither gold nor silver in color. Electrum ranges in color from pale to light yellow. I would put this pair on the paler end of the color spectrum but one can still notice yellow-ness. Please let me know if you have any questions about the color or condition of my rare find! =) Rachel

    Wear consistent with age and use. This is faux electrum- an alloy that is between gold and silver. One of the stones is blackened. There are noticeable surface irregularities due to wear. Normally, I avoid listing items with this level of wear but these are special and rare. .
