Antique art nouveau zircon & seed pearl lavaliere pendant, in 9 carat gold

A truly enchanting Art Nouveau lavaliere pendant, crafted in 9 carat gold and defined by its flowing lines, softness, and feminine elegance. This beautiful piece is immediately recognisable as Art Nouveau in style, with its elongated proportions and delicate openwork frame.

Across the top of the pendant sits a graceful foliate motif, finely worked and set with seed pearls that glow with a soft, milky lustre. At the centre is a lovely round cut pale pink natural zircon, a gemstone prized for its brilliance and known as one of the oldest minerals on earth. Its gentle blush tone brings warmth and light to the composition.

Working in perfect harmony with the central stone is a target like floral motif, also adorned with seed pearls, adding balance and decorative depth. Completing the classic lavaliere form, a colourless round cut zircon hangs delicately below, bezel set and catching the light beautifully as it moves.

Feminine, refined, and wonderfully wearable, this pendant feels both romantic and timeless. It has stood the test of time remarkably well and remains in fantastic condition, a true treasure from the Art Nouveau era. Zircon is also one of the birthstones for December, adding an extra layer of meaning to this exquisite piece.
