SALE C1900 ART NOUVEAU 10K Gold & Sapphire Paste Pendant Lavaliere Necklace

Jewelry : Antique

 

This antique Art Nouveau pendant or lavaliere, to use the parlance of Belle Epoque Paris, is made of 10K yellow gold and set with a facetted simulated sapphire paste crystal in the most brilliant and riveting blue—the hue you wish genuine sapphire would be. The sensuous pendant is 7/8” long and with the bail included it’s just over 1”. The width at the “whiplash” curves of the shoulder of the body is just under ½”. The linear design has a peaked center topped by the bezel-set round paste which really jumps out at you due to the saturation of that gorgeous blue color.

The back of the pendant has a partial 10K stamp and I have tested it twice, to confirm the gold purity. The 18” long chain is vintage but newer, and is also 10K gold with an easy-to-use tab and spring-ring clasp. This circa 1900 antique necklace is in excellent condition and clearly shows us why this beloved and feminine Art Nouveau style has never gone out of favor
