This Art Nouveau enamel Antique Pin is crafted in hard enameled and matted 14k yellow gold, weighs 2.7g and measures 23mm long and 18mm deep. Depicting a temptingly delicate, immaculately crafted quatrefoil-petal wild rose, this alluring Art Nouveau enamel brooch characterizes the finesse and sensuality inherent in the Art Nouveau Jewelry design of the period. The alluring wild rose with a delightful polychrome aesthetic, incorporates four stylized enameled petals in botanically accurate and eye-pleasing pastel-pink color with a nuance of cream at the floral center, where a temptingly delightful half-drilled creamy-pink seed pearl is appreciatively positioned to enhance the aesthetic grace of the pin. This fascinating wild rose of unmatched delicacy is placed amidst romantically scrolled, 'non-conformist' stems, creating a highly ornate openwork surround. This Art Nouveau enamel and pearl pin of exquisite artisanship is outfitted with the original pin and hook on reverse.

Greatly influencing Western architecture, metalwork and interior design for roughly thirty years, the Art Nouveau period (1890-1919) was fanciful, sensual and sensitive in its use of feminine flowing curvilinear lines and exquisite depiction of the female form. Art Nouveau jewelry in most instances was crafted in gold and incorporated pastel-colored stones that were used to accentuate rather than dominate the jewelry. Opals, aquamarines, peridot, amethyst and demantoid green garnets were popular choices. A notable event of this Antique Jewelry era was the discovery and revival of enamel effects such as cloisonné, champlevé and plique-à-jour, mostly attributable to the adoption of Japanese influx of art.
