This Art Nouveau gold and enamel brooch has been crafted during a period celebrated for artistic innovation; Art Nouveau jewellery is valued as much for its creativity and decorative appeal as for its materials. This brooch is particularly suited to milestone birthdays, anniversaries, retirement gifts or meaningful personal celebrations where individuality and craftsmanship are especially appreciated.
NOTE: * The iris flower is a quintessential Art Nouveau motif, particularly suited to the movement's emphasis on organic forms and natural ornamentation. Its elongated stems, flowing petals, and graceful curves embody the sinuous, nature-inspired aesthetic that defined Art Nouveau design between 1890 and 1914.
Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.
Date: Circa 1910
