An evocative antique Art Nouveau pendant crafted in 10K gold, featuring a beautifully sculpted repoussé design with fluid, nature-inspired lines. The front reveals a stylized dragon-like creature woven seamlessly into the organic pattern, a hallmark of Art Nouveau’s fascination with myth and movement.
At its center, a delicate star-set stone adds a subtle point of light, enhancing the pendant’s dimensional surface.
The reverse is equally detailed, showcasing a graceful arrangement of stylized lily-of-the-valley buds. Long associated with renewal, purity, and the return of happiness, this motif adds a layer of symbolic meaning to the piece.
The pendant is hollow in construction and has been permanently soldered closed along the seam, likely later in its life. Likely morning jewelry. It is no longer functional as a locket and is offered as a decorative antique piece.
A striking example of Art Nouveau craftsmanship, blending natural beauty with mythological elements.
