This graceful fairy was made in the Art Nouveau style. While contemporary, she still conveys the design ethos of a bygone era. Oddly, during the Nouveau era – roughly 1890–1915 - very few fairy jewels were made, except some very high-end ones by designers such as Lalique. She is made from 18k yellow gold, and her wings are plique a jour (translucent enamel). The colors shade from pink to almost white, and then into green...

Gerardo Lopez dragon cuff is constructed with an overlay for dimension. The background is niello and it looks as if it were hardly worn. There is some glare with the photos but no damage. I date this around 1948 to 1950 as it does carry an eagle but it also carries the earlier hallmark using the 980 mark. The cuff is 2 inches tall, a 1 1/8th in. gap and a 2.25in. diameter. Collector quality.
