ABOUT PRODUCTID 16419
This decorative pin from the early 20th century exemplifies continental European craftsmanship shaped by the artistic aspirations of Art Nouveau. Fashioned from gilded brass, its slender, elongated shaft has a silky, satin surface. The head displays flowing, organic lines bordered with a delicate beaded rim, while the centrally set faceted deep red stone—either garnet or glass imitating ruby—introduces a considered contrast to the matte, warm golden body. The precise connection of head and shaft reveals the attentive metalwork characteristic of early 20th-century jewelry. The condition is very good: only minimal signs of age-related wear typical for antique jewelry, no visible damage or deformation, and a fine, natural patina gracing the surface.This pin carries the voice of a period when craftsmanship of everyday objects was intimately linked to artistic boldness. Its head's fluid curves evoke stylized botanical ornaments from Viennese ateliers, while the rich red jewel refers to traditions of cabochon symbolism and expressions of love from the era. The gentle sheen of the gilded brass conjures a memory of historic salons—the pin whispers of personal elegance, of fashion that welcomed individuality conveyed through detail.Now, the pin may be paired with a classic scarf, hat, lapel, or pillbox. It can be combined with pearls, garnets, or turn-of-the-century jewelry to create a harmonious ensemble. The piece works especially well with understated textiles—white, black, burgundy—whose textures accentuate both the head's intricate ornament and the saturate tone of the stone. It
