This Art Nouveau necklace originates from 1930 and comprises silver, rock crystal, opal, and pearl materials in silver, clear, and white colours. The design incorporates a teardrop faceted rock crystal drop, a wirework cap, pearl accents, and chain links, with an opal cabochon and seed pearls completing the piece. The photograph also shows a toggle clasp fastening, decorative filigree metalwork atop the crystal, and small white beads interspersed along the delicate chain links. The rock crystal pendant measures 2.7 cm high by 1.9 cm wide by 1.5 cm deep. Such a neckpiece is worn as personal adornment, suited for adding a delicate historical accent to attire for social occasions or daily wear in a modern wardrobe. The piece hangs from an original natural seed pearl chain measuring 18.5 inches in length and carries a total weight of 11.3g. The sterling silver setting holds the crystal securely beneath the foliage-detailed mount housing the small opal. It remains in superb condition with no signs of wear.

FAQs

Art Nouveau jewellery, created between roughly 1890 and 1910, is characterised by organic flowing lines, natural forms, and a preference for semi-precious stones chosen for their aesthetic colour and translucency rather than purely high intrinsic value.

Craftsmen frequently utilised sterling silver, carved or facetted rock crystal quartz, natural pearls, opals, and enamelling paired with delicate cast or hand-wrought chainwork.

Authentic pieces feature period-appropriate hand-faceting, natural inclusions within the quartz, delicate cast or wirework caps, period silver hallmarks or makers marks, and hand-linked chain elements.

A statement pendant can be worn alongside understated contemporary necklines, such as a silk blouse or a dark evening top, allowing the transparent rock crystal and metallic detailing to serve as a singular focal point.

Wipe gently with a clean, dry microfibre cloth after wear. Avoid liquid chemical immersion, ultrasonic cleaners, and extreme temperature shifts, as pearls and opals are sensitive organic and hydrated materials.
