By collecting many years of antique jewelry I am ashamed to say that I actually had in my possession this jewelry already twenty/ twenty five years. And this was my first beautiful Art Nouveau 18K yellow gold flower brooch/pendant.
Until today I still do not know where it was made. The flower itself from rose and yellow gold. The petal, stamen, one leaf and stalk of yellow gold. The petals are made partly dull but some polished. The stamen can move a little bit. The brooch is inlaid with brilliants. This jewelry is quite large 2.75x2.24 "and weight: 20 gr.
De stamens are made of twisted yellow gold and on the top brilliants as also the flower stalk. The brilliants are set either in white gold or platinum? There is a trombone catch and even this is decorated. This piece of jewelry can be worn as a brooch as well as a pendant.
The only mark is 18K unfortunately no makers mark.
Four years ago I posted this jewel already on CW to ask the collectors which period this brooch / pendant but now I guess Art Nouveau. Do you agree with me ??
In any case, one of my finest jewelry.
HAPPY NEW YEAR , AGRAM !!!!!!!!

happy new year ..........
I am not a jewelery person but did have to research some as part of settling a estate. The item I was looking for I did bookmark but it is no longer listed. It was a gold Easter Lily broach but it had pearls. This one appears to have six petals just as most Easter Lily's do. Perhaps that will help you in your search.
Exceptional and beautiful brooch Agram.
New year's wishes to you!
Very beautiful large brooch!
I feel it rather around 50' than art nouveau, this period saw a big naturalistic revival, the twisted stem and diamonds setting are a clue. Would love to have Jewel1900 and BelleEpoque opinion too :-)
kyratango, first all best wishes for you too and thanks for your comment and love.
I looked good to be sure you have a point to assume this brooch around 50's. But I only see that there was a lot of colored stones jewelry so quite lavish in color and material and not as simple as the lines of Art Nouveau.
That's why I think this is brooch pendant is from this time period.
racer4four thanks for your best wishes, all the best for you in 2015!
