Antique Art Nouveau Amethyst and Pearl 14K Gold Brooch
$325.00
Lovely antique amethyst and pearl 14k yellow gold brooch with a velvety gold patina. The free flowing lines and foliate motif makes this stunning piece unmistakably Art Nouveau (1890-1910). The center seed pearl is set in a starburst.
This elegant brooch features a hook that facilitated women to fashionably sport a pocket watch suspended from the brooch as well as other adornments.
The Art Nouveau movement embraced free flowing lines, organic motifs, and the use of both mythical creatures and insects as inspiration. Non-traditional gemstones in pastel hues, freshwater pearls and meticulous hand painted enamel work adorned Art Nouveau jewellery, breaking away from restrictive designs of the 19th century.

"The story of Bijoux Birks began four centuries ago, when the Birks family were master silversmiths in Sheffield, England. Though the brand’s roots lie deep in English craftsmanship, it truly came to life when Henry Birks opened a boutique in the heart of Montreal in 1879. His lifelong dream became a reality and grew into a magnificent fine jewellery legacy that is still thriving today." - Maison Birks Website
