This exquisite Art Nouveau brooch (estimated 1890-1905) showcases the era’s iconic flowing lines and delicate craftsmanship. Crafted in yellow gold, it features an openwork design adorned with a mix of rose-cut and old single-cut diamonds. A central rose-cut diamond is complemented by a lustrous pearl accent, adding to the brooch’s refined charm. At the back, a secure c clasp pin and two FOB hooks at the top allow the piece to be easily converted into a pendant, offering versatile wear. The harmonious blend of graceful curves and intricate details typical of the period makes this brooch a stunning representation of Art Nouveau artistry
