Exceptional Art Nouveau Brooch/Pendant
This exquisite Art Nouveau brooch and pendant by Boucheron is a masterful expression of nature-inspired elegance. Designed as a delicate iris in full bloom, it features polychrome enamel petals, their soft hues blending seamlessly to capture the beauty of the natural world. The engraved gold leaves and ornate cartouche frame provide a luxurious contrast, while a seed pearl drop gracefully suspends from the design, adding a final touch of refinement.
A testament to Boucheron’s craftsmanship, this piece is adorned with sparkling rose-cut diamonds and vibrant circular-cut rubies, set against a translucent green enamel background. The intricate detailing on the reverse and the finely engraved gold further showcase the jeweler’s commitment to artistry. Measuring 4.3 cm in length, it offers versatility with a detachable brooch fitting, making it a truly wearable work of art.
Boucheron, renowned for reinventing the codes of high jewelry, approached each creation with an emphasis on fluidity and wearability. This exceptional piece embodies that philosophy, seamlessly blending Art Nouveau aesthetics with timeless sophistication. Housed in its original fitted case marked "Boucheron, 69 Piccadilly London, Pont des Maréchaux Moscou, 26 Place Vendôme Paris," it stands as a rare and coveted treasure for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
