Art Nouveau Byzantine
Lady Diamond 14k Locket This gorgeous large Art Nouveau locket
features a very three dimensional Mucha style lady with a Byzantine
look. Her elaborate headband is set with diamonds and her necklace
is set with a single red stone (ruby or garnet, hard to tell). The
unusual aspects of this lovely piece is the pose of the lady, her full
face and not a profile as you frequently see with lockets of the
period. The locket measures 1 3/8ths inches in diameter (not
including loop and bale) and has it's original metal and protective
inserts. The back has not been engraved and the locket is in good
working order. There is a slight area of wear on her nose that only
visible on really close inspection (easily repairable if you desire)
and a few areas of light wear on the back. Guaranteed to be
14k (unmarked, tested) and the overall condition is very good on this most
desirable period locket.

amazing piece features a very elaborate slide that is accented with blue

inches. The chain measures 59 1/2 inches and is 1/4 of an inch
wide. The chain is unmarked but has been tested and is guaranteed to
be at least 800 silver. The slide has several small areas of wear to
the enamel and the pastes are uniformly aged (one tiny paste is
missing). The chain has one old repair and one section that will
need to be soldered. I have not had this done as the piece can
easily be shortened and I suspect this was done on purpose so the
chain could be worn long or short. Spring clasp is most likely a
later addition.

very good condition with no wear or repairs. At one time it looks
that was a drop hanging next to the outside of each sideways bow. I
think the necklace wears better without the additional drops and they
could be replaced or the loop removed. The metal looks to be a low
karat gold or vermeil and has no wear. This is one of the loveliest
examples of a garnet necklace I have seen.
