Victorian ART NOUVEAU 14k Gold PERIDOT Repoussé PENDANT BROOCH
Natural Chrome Diopside Rondelle Bead Graduated Necklace, 18K Gold Clasp. Victorian Art Nouveau 14ct Gold Peridot Repoussé Pendant Brooch.
A spectacular antique peridot pendant brooch from the late 19th century! The ornate repousse work of sinuous lines, scrolls and curvilinear design is reminiscent of Art Nouveau period, circa 1900. The elegant piece boasts two stunning green peridot gems; the top step-cut peridot measures 10.50mm x 11.00mm, approximate weight - 6.00 carats and lower elongated kite-shaped peridot measures 14mm x 8mm, approximate weight- 3.20 carats. The colours in both peridot gems are a vibrant green with the top peridot displaying a slightly more deeper, lime hue - the clarity in both is superb. The peridots are set into slightly elevated bezels with minute pinches over each corner, holding peridots securely into place.
The finely crafted piece features a recessed textured background, bordered with elaborate repousse work. Such a elegant work of art!A gorgeous stylized runner attaches to top if you wish to wear as pendant, or piece can be converted into brooch with the runner tucking behind. The piece has been xrf tested to 14ct gold, no stamps are sighted. A wonderful period piece that boasts two stunning peridots! One for the distinct jewellery lover... Or perhaps for the August birthstone month.
