Art Nouveau Demantoid Garnet & Diamond Egyptian Revival Stick Pin

A beautiful expression of the Art Nouveau era’s fascination with femininity and flowing natural forms, this antique 14K yellow gold stick pin features the profile of a graceful woman rendered in softly sculptural detail. Her flowing hair sweeps outward in elegant curves characteristic of the period, embodying the romantic, organic artistry that defined jewelry design at the turn of the 20th century.

Accenting her jeweled headband are three vivid demantoid garnets totaling approximately 0.06 carats. Prized for their exceptional brilliance and vibrant green color, demantoid garnets were among the most sought-after gemstones of the era and remain especially desirable today. Three old mine-cut diamonds totaling approximately 0.03 carats add a subtle sparkle to the design, while a single seed pearl crowns the piece with a soft, luminous touch.

The warm gold tones, flowing lines, and delicately idealized female form all speak beautifully to the Art Nouveau aesthetic, where jewelry often blurred the line between adornment and miniature sculpture.

Elegant and richly evocative of its era, this stick pin is both a wearable jewel and a small work of art.
