Art Nouveau Enameled 18K Gold Diamond Violet Flower Pendant / Pin
An unusually large Art Nouveau enameled violet pin /pendant worked in opaque white and purple shades over 18K gold. The petals are arranged around an old mine cut diamond (I/J; SI1). In Victorian flower symbology, purple violets conveyed the sentiment "modesty" and white violets conveyed "innocence." Perhaps the colors chosen for this piece were intended to represent a mix of meanings. The back retains the original pinstem and clasp, as well as a bail so the flower can be worn as a pendant. Origin: probably European, possibly American, ca 1900 Condition: excellent; the peta on the lower right has a tiny enamel nick visible only under 10X magnificationDimensions: 1-1/8" x 1-5/16" Weight: 8.7 grams Approximate Diamond Weight: .25 carat
Condition: Good
