Art Nouveau Enamel Lady Brooch c1890

Art Nouveau Enamel Lady Brooch c1890

Lustrous violet petals of ombré enamel fan behind a serene long-haired lady in this ethereal art nouveau brooch. Her flowing locks sensuously curve below her golden face, creating a pool around her as her hair seemingly floats atop the water, beautifully sculpted to emulate delicate watery curls. An old mine cut diamond shines like the full moon reflected in her pool, glittering in perfect harmony with the gold's wavy highlights. The lightest lavender enamel glows around her crown and graduates into darker purple shades, shining like velvety-soft flower petals. Made around 1890, this handmade brooch has a gorgeous patina that creates shadows in just the right places, bringing out the brooch's dynamic details. Dreamy and artful, this lovely brooch brings antique mystique wherever its beauty graces.
