An extraordinary French Art Nouveau necklace dating from the turn of the twentieth century, formed as a winged serpent suspended from an elaborate silver paste necklet. Set throughout with sparkling white paste stones, accented with green and ruby-red paste and centred by faux pearls, it is a remarkable survivor from one of the most imaginative periods in jewellery history.

At the heart of the necklace hangs a fantastical winged serpent, a motif rarely encountered even among Art Nouveau jewels. During the Belle Époque, artists and jewellers drew inspiration from mythology, dreams, folklore and the natural world, creating jewels that blurred the boundaries between reality and fantasy. Rather than simply imitating flowers or animals, they transformed them into mysterious, otherworldly forms filled with symbolism and movement.

Paris stood at the centre of the Art Nouveau movement. Designers such as René Lalique revolutionised jewellery by placing artistic design above intrinsic material value. Silver, horn, enamel, glass and paste were embraced alongside precious gemstones, allowing jewellers to create dramatic and highly original works of art. Pieces such as this demonstrate why the finest costume jewellery of the period is now so highly sought after by collectors.

The winged serpent clasps a luminous faux pearl between its claws, while a second pearl drop hangs below. Its sinuous body is highlighted with green paste stones, while ruby-red paste eyes bring the creature vividly to life. The surrounding necklace is equally impressive, composed of elegant scrolling links set with glittering white paste that catch the light beautifully when worn.

Rarely does one encounter a piece that captures the spirit of Art Nouveau so completely. More than simply an item of jewellery, it is a miniature work of Belle Époque fantasy.

BRIGHT EYES OPENED WIDE
Format: Hardcover
This easy to read book for 3-7 yr olds is very moves easily through the story's tale and is so colorful! I introduce it to my toddler class during circle time and their facial expressions were exciting with the turn of every page. After hearing and seeing the tale told; they had many questions. I enjoyed it just as much as my toddlers.
