Description from the seller
Splendid flower brooch from the Liberty period (Art Nouveau), made around 1900 with refined pierced workmanship and sinuously vegetal motifs, typical of European jewelry of the Belle Époque.
The structure is crafted in 18-karat yellow gold, while the upper settings are in silver, traditional technique used in late 19th and early 20th-century jewelry to enhance the brilliance of diamonds.
The brooch is embellished with numerous natural rose-cut diamonds distributed along the entire composition and with three pearls that confer elegance and lightness to the design. The terminal part features a delicate mobile pendant with an additional decorative element.
The piece retains its original patina and is complete. The needle clasp is original and fully functional.
