Art Nouveau Opal, Diamond & Seed Pearl Brooch/Pendant

Graceful scrollwork and delicate open spaces showcase the romantic elegance of the Art Nouveau era in this ethereal brooch/pendant. Crafted in 14K yellow gold, flowing curves sweep outward from the oval opal center, forming an airy, balanced design traced with seed pearls. Diamond accents punctuate the ornament, while the elongated lower section draws the eye downward through a series of slender curves and decorative flourishes.

Dating to the early 1900s, the piece reflects the period’s fascination with fluid lines and ornamental movement. Warm gold, soft pearl luster, and touches of diamond sparkle complement the opal without overwhelming the setting’s intricacy. Beautiful worn as either a brooch or pendant, it offers a lovely expression of turn-of-the-century jewelry design.

A principal diamond weighing 0.20 carats sits at the top, accompanied by four additional diamonds totaling 0.30 carats that add bright accents to the warm yellow gold setting.

Measuring 1.5 inches high, the piece offers versatility as both a brooch and a pendant.
