Art Nouveau Locket with Diamond

Art Nouveau Locket with Diamond

C.1900. A romantic Art Nouveau locket with diamonds. The locket depicts a woman in starry night. The background has four diamond stars, and she is wearing a diamond pendant and a head piece that is adorned with a small rose cut diamond. On the back, the locket is delicately hand-engraved for the monogram of 'EM' or 'ME'. The locket shows fine repoussé work, and is a good example of Art Nouveau jewelry, which often features compelling feminine figures beautifully. It is 14k yellow gold, and opens and closes with a good snap sound. Overall in great condition.

Size: Approximately 25mm without the bale / 1.40" NS with the bale
