Perhaps that's part of the reason the jewelry it left behind is so celebrated.\u003cbr\u003eFor a brief, extraordinary moment around the turn of the 20th century, jewelers abandoned rigid symmetry and looked to nature instead—flowers, vines, insects and the sensual curves of the female form. And nowhere was this new language of jewelry expressed more beautifully than in France.\u003cbr\u003eThis French Art Nouveau brooch feels almost alive.\u003cbr\u003eFive sculpted petals curl, fold and overlap rather than sitting obediently flat. White enamel is washed with delicate green and finely painted veining, giving the flower wonderful depth and movement. There is something unmistakably French about those curves—soft, fluid and just a little sensual.\u003cbr\u003eAt the center sits an approximately 0.20 carat Old Mine cut diamond, estimated J–K color and SI clarity. And then comes our favorite little surprise: the stem sweeps away from the flower and curls into a horseshoe set with antique rose-cut diamonds. Nature and good luck, wrapped into one wonderfully imaginative design.\u003cbr\u003eThe flower itself may be a stylized blossom rather than a botanically literal one—very much in the spirit of Art Nouveau, where nature was inspiration rather than instruction.\u003cbr\u003eCrafted in 18K yellow gold and bearing French hallmarks.\u003cbr\u003eCirca: 1900\u003cbr\u003eMeasurements: approximately 1.25 x 1.25 inches\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 9.8 grams\u003cbr\u003eCenter diamond: Old Mine cut, approximately 0.20 carat, J–K color, SI clarity\u003cbr\u003eAdditional diamonds: antique rose cuts\u003cbr\u003eEnamel: white and green vitreous enamel\u003cbr\u003eMetal: 18K yellow gold\u003cbr\u003eOriginal fastening or \"fibula\" - C clasp.\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: France\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnd yes—wear it. Art Nouveau may belong in museums, but this little piece of French jewelry history would look considerably better on a lapel.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good antique condition with wear consistent with age.\u003cbr\u003eAll diamonds and colored gemstones are natural and earth-mined.\u003cbr\u003e*** Since we list antique and vintage items we try to make sure to identify any issues.
