French Art Nouveau Multi-Gem Necklace

An exceptional French Art Nouveau Multi-Gem Necklace, exquisitely handcrafted in 18ct yellow gold and dating to circa 1910. Beautifully expressive and entirely hand made, this remarkable piece perfectly embodies the flowing organic forms and artistic innovation that define the Art Nouveau movement. The striking pendant centres on a polished black onyx plaque, dramatically contrasted by elegant ribbons and scrolling curves in rich yellow gold. Delicate platinum details are set with diamonds, while vibrant ruby highlights add warmth and colour to the composition. A single old-cut diamond rises above the design, creating a focal point that enhances the graceful asymmetry of the pendant. The pendant is suspended from a beautifully crafted handmade gold chain, composed of repeating openwork scroll links that echo the fluid lines of the pendant itself. Every element has been thoughtfully designed, demonstrating the exceptional level of craftsmanship associated with the top finest French jewellers of the period. The necklace measures 18.5 inches long, the central piece is 2.6cm x 2.6cm.
