Art Nouveau 22k Gold Dragon Charm

This ferocious 22k yellow gold dragon captures the whimsy and skilled craftmanship of the Art Nouveau movement. He clutches an old European-cut diamond with his talons protecting his valuable treasure.

The detail on his body is unlike anything we see in modern jewelry. His neck and arms show a scaled texture and the scales stand rigid along his curved tail.

The Art Nouveau moment of the early 20th century was brief, but one of the most interesting and influential design movements of the modern era. Greatly inspired by Japonisme, the feminine form, and nature, the artists of the Art Nouveau period translated semi-percious gemstones, enamel, and glass into imaginative forms.
