Antique Edwardian Amethyst & Seed Pearl 15K Gold Pendant Necklace Art Nouveau

About the Item

We are delighted to offer this enchanting antique Edwardian art nouveau pendant/brooch necklace made c.1905. The goldwork is simply wonderful on this particular piece: it is crafted with a combination of naturalistic art nouveau scrolled foliate motifs and a fan-like section at the top which appears to be possibly an influence of Japonisme/Japonaiserie. The manner in which the gold setting has been intricately made is especially impressive and noteworthy on this pendant. Not only do the scrolls interweave, but each section tapers in thickness towards the 'curves' and to compensate for such a fine design, the seed pearls are also set in tapering sizes with incredible 'tightness'. This is particularly tangible when looking at the pendant as a whole - there is a sense of exceptional precision and detail yet each section comes 'together' as one whole. The central section is set with a beautiful faceted amethyst which is complimented by the pear-shaped amethyst drop below. Each section moves freely which truly comes to life upon wearing and embraces the fluid and free design of the art nouveau period. Distinctly Edwardian and distinguished from contemporary pieces, this pendant makes for a wonderful addition to any antique jewellery lover's collection and a conversation starter upon wearing. Owing to its bail and pin on the reverse side, it can be worn practically both as a brooch or a necklace and its alluring colour is a wonderful accent to any outfit. Amethyst is known to be the birthstone for February and Pearls, June. The pendant is marked 15ct on the reverse side. Ready to wear out of the box: All of our pendants also include the photographed thinner complimentary 9ct solid gold (modern) chain so that you can enjoy your newly acquired treasure straight out of the box.

  • 15k Gold Art Nouveau Plique-à-jour Diamond and Pearl Necklace
    By Mappin Brothers
    Located in Venice, CA
    A classic Art Nouveau design, this 15k rose gold necklace features stunning plique-à-jour, Rose Cut diamonds, and beautiful pearls. The centerpiece of the necklace is articulated, hinged in two places so that the flower and pearl drops dangle freely. Three plique-à-jour leaves are translucent—the loveliest matte soft green that fades into subtle purple highlights, clearly done by a master. Each cell of the leaf is filled with plique, with a white metal (platinum or white gold) creating contrast in the center of the leaf. Inside are a channel of bead set Rose Cut diamonds. A flower is suspended from the leaves, with multi-tones of peach to pale yellow that glow against the gold, with a prong-set diamond as its piston. The design work loops over, turning the bail into a scrolling foliate. The 15k gold appears rosy, as it has an incredible patina that shimmers with various hues of pink, gold, and green. “Plique-à-jour” translates from French as “letting in daylight” and is a charming technique used in jewelry throughout the 20th century. To create this effect, colored, transparent enamel is suspended between gold backless cells to allow light to illuminate the piece with vibrant colors, similar to a stained glass window. The flower hangs from a 15k gold classic alternating link chain...
