Italian Art Nouveau Carved Coral and Silver Necklace

Estate Jewelry: Silver: Art Nouveau Pre 1900: item #510702

A rare example of Stile Floreale (literally "floral style," the Italian variant of Art Nouveau), this is one of the most gorgeous necklaces I've seen in a long time. The central stone is exquisitely carved with a delightful bird nestling beside a profusion of flower petals. There's even openwork: four piercings that help define the pattern, which shows the asymmetry and flowing lines that characterize Art Nouveau. Measuring about 3/4 inches tall and 1/2 inch wide, the carving is highly dimens... Click for details

Finely Detailed Antique Silver Lion Ring circa 1900

Estate Jewelry: Silver: Art Nouveau Pre 1910: item #504327

Who's your favorite Leo Lady, and how much would she love this ring?

I love it when those design currents intersect, because each benefits the other and you wind up with a fresh and unexpected look.

The setting has a floral and foliate pattern that screams Art Nouveau and the metal is silver in color - but tarnish-free, so the surface is apparently of rhodium or chromium, one of those hard-wearing, easy-care metals from the platinum fam...

Exquisite Jeweled Sterling Art Nouveau Lady Brooch

Estate Jewelry: Silver: Art Nouveau Pre 1910: item #126268

This finely wrought Victorian brooch is one of the most romantic and beautiful pieces of Art Nouveau jewelry I've ever seen. Dating from around 1900, it features a flowing-haired lady who's more than usually gorgeous and very pertly posed. Beyond the charm of the coquettish figure and lavish floral silver work, the piece gains an enchanting, magical quality from its radiant mother-of-pearl moon. Naturally it has the old "C" clasp right for the period. Its measurements are petite, about an inch ... Click for details

Estate Jewelry: Silver: Art Nouveau Pre 1920: item #117212

This exciting ring from the collection of Fred Rezazadeh (distinguished author of "The Collectible Silver Jewelry Book" and "Costume Jewelry: A Practical Handbook & Value Guide") is a splendid example of Arte Nueva - an ethnic spin on classic Art Nouveau design. Note the swirling lines of these stylized feather-like leaves. Arts & Crafts influence is also evident, both in the fine quality of hand-workmanship and the choice of a green cabochon stone. And what a gorgeous chunk of malachite it i... Click for details

Lovely Antique Sterling Art Nouveau Bar Pin 1890s

Estate Jewelry: Silver: Art Nouveau Pre 1910: item #113905

Subtlety and Art Nouveau don't ordinarily go together, but here's a splendid exception. This restrained and yet characteristically Nouveau jewel is lavished with floral repousse work, but holds excesses within the bounds of a bar pin, slender and 2 inches long. Notice the finely wrought clasp is engraved to match the front -- a particularly elegant touch.
