Sold Antique Art Nouveau 14K & Amethyst Heart Brooch TLJ hardstone cameo Alexander the Great was aThis gorgeous brooch is an excellent example of jewelry of the Art Nouveau period (1890 1915), a movement that embraced long flowing lines and a lighter, more airy feeling than the heavy and somber Victorian styles. The importation of Asian art also influenced the trends, and nature was often the focus for the jewelry pieces. Crafted of 14 karat rose gold, it features intertwined stylized snakes embracing a rich, throbbing purple amethyst heart stone.
