This Art Nouveau plique à jour necklace with diamonds in antique style comprises an 18k yellow gold pendant and a 14k yellow gold supporting chain. Most probably of European provenance, this exquisite Art Nouveau Jewelry style necklace weighs 16.1g and measures 16.25 inches long, 36mm wide and 7mm deep. Epitomizing the distinct and captivating 'non-conformist' Art Nouveau style, this delightful work of art depicts the exquisite silhouette of a young and extremely beautiful woman, masterfully sculptured in matted yellow gold with elaborate devotion to detail. The relatively short and stylish hair is pinned back with an ornamental diamond flower while her face framed by a diamond choker depicts the 'age of innocence', masterfully displayed by a realistic facial expression, illustrating the remarkable perspective attained with gold, sculptured by accomplished artists eager to make their mark around the turn of the last century. This superb portrait is exposed within an openwork, crown-shaped frame, enveloped in 0.20cts of single-cut diamonds graded J color and SI clarity range, inclusive of the diamond necklace and floral head ornament. This meticulously framed portrait is exposed atop an immaculately enameled and colorful plaque of 'non conformist' naturalistic inspiration, rendered in the quintessentially Art Nouveau style plique à jour technique of enameling. This breath-taking gold and enamel necklace characterizing the Art Nouveau leitmotif of 'femininity and its relation to nature’ features a smooth undercarriage for comfortable wear and is supported by an 18k gold chain composed of delicate gold beads, securing with a spring-ring clasp.
