Art Nouveau Pendant with Ruby and Diamond

Art Nouveau Pendant with Ruby and Diamond

C.1900. A romantic Art Nouveau pendant with a motif of a 'Water Sprite Nymph'. She is wearing a head piece that has rubies and rose cut diamonds. The pendant is a quatrefoil shape, and 18k yellow gold. It shows fine repoussé work, and is a good example of Art Nouveau jewelry, which often features compelling feminine figures beautifully. There are some dents on the back of the pendant. Overall in good condition. 

Size: Approximately 29mm without the bale / 1.5" NS with the bale
