About the Item

Finely detailed, this strikingly stunning and symbolic Art Nouveau pendant depicts Greek goddess, Maia. With her nymphs in the background, Maia sows seeds reflecting her connection to spring and growth. The irregular outline of the 14 karat yellow gold medallion is artfully framed by a beautiful iris and the word "May" graces the base of the medal. This pendant started life as a watch pin, but the pin has been removed and a bail attached for modern day wear. The name "Helen du Bose" is hand engraved on the back of the high polished pendant. The medallion weighs 6.5 grams and is approximately 1" round, 1 1/4" with the bail. The month of May is believed to be named after Maia who is associated with the growth of plants and the care of newborns. The chain is not included.

Art Nouveau, 14 Karat Yellow Gold Lorgnette
Located in Brisbane City, QLD
This Art Nouveau gold lorgnette likely originates from the United States during the first 20 years of the 20th Century. Crafted from 14 karat yellow gold the lorgnette is extremely simple in its design and is virtually void of ornamentation with the exception of some fine scrollwork around the lens casing. The lenses that are currently fitted are likely original, and whilst in-tact do have some abrasions to the surface of the glass. The piece is marked internally for 14 karat gold and also has a makers mark in the form of a Maltese cross inside a circle, which is currently unidentified. In good condition the piece only has some minor dents to the gold which are commensurate with age. Once a very frequently used object, this wondrous lorgnette would be a beautiful pendant on a long chain for someone wanting a piece of gold...
