Art Nouveau Old European Cut Diamond & Seed Pearl Lavalier Pendant
Riverine
Art Nouveau jewelry didn’t just depict nature — it moved like it. This lavalier pendant is a perfect expression of that philosophy: fluid, asymmetrical, alive.
At its center, an old European cut diamond — the predecessor to the modern brilliant, cut by hand to maximize candlelight rather than electric flash. Around it, seed pearls cluster like morning dew, set in 10k gold with the soft, bloomed finish characteristic of early 20th-century craftsmanship. The lavalier's chandelier-style framework was the signature silhouette of the era.
This is a piece that moves with you. Excellent condition, with all the warmth and presence of a century of careful keeping.
