Art Nouveau 18k yellow gold, diamond, and ruby brooch. This lovely Art Nouveau brooch blends art and whimsy in 18k yellow gold, adorned with rose cut diamonds and cabochon rubies. The brooch features a sculpted motif of a smiling child, with delicately detailed curls in their hair, wearing a rose-cut diamond necklace. The child's gaze is fixed on a fascinating figure beside them—a whimsical character that could be interpreted a pirate. This figure, with its animal-like appearance, sports a pirate hat and a hook for a hand, creating a playful yet mysterious scene. The figure is further accented with round ruby cabochons, adding a rich and vibrant contrast to the design. The symbolism of this brooch remains an intriguing mystery, perhaps a reflection of the Art Nouveau period’s fascination with fantasy, imagination, and the blending of nature with the surreal.
