ABOUT: I love floral jewelry. I love French jewelry. I love the Art Nouveau movement. This piece is all three of those.
Delicious gold work with contrasting satin texture and high shine, buttery glow. This antique necklace / chain is a French Art Nouveau piece from the Belle Epoque period. At the front of the chain it has four figural links depicting flowers - alternating daisies and violas (pansy or violet). Each link is connected to the adjacent by a loop to allow some movement across the front. Beautiful rich antique patina to the 18k gold with French hallmarks on the loop.
MEASUREMENTS: The chain is 17 inches in length. The piece weigh 4.35 grams. The floral links are about 9mm wide.
IMPORTANT CONDITION NOTES:
Please note that all my pieces are pre-owned and in estate condition. They will have patina, surface wear, a few small nicks. These pieces may also have evidence of a sizing, some build up around the stones and / or inclusions seen under magnification, typical for antique pieces. I have mentioned any noticeable issues above and they are all still wearable and eager to be loved and accepted for many years to come, (the preservation of antique jewelry, even those with signs of their age and history, is important to me. : ) But - Please note due to age, this piece is not in mint condition. Pictures also serve as part of the description and condition report so please utilize the zoom feature which will magnify any wear significantly more than what is visible to the eye while wearing : )
