A striking French Art Nouveau dragon necklace dating to around 1910, crafted in Paris at the height of the movement.Made entirely in 18K gold, the pendant takes the form of a sinuous dragon whose sweeping, organic lines create an elegant openwork composition. The fluid curves and stylised naturalism are classic Art Nouveau design, recalling the fantastical creatures popularised by artists and jewellers such as Réné Lalique during the period.Two cultured pearls accent the design; one set within the dragon’s body and another suspended below as a drop. Beneath this hangs a small crumpled platinum element cleverly designed to imitate the sparkle of a white gemstone. The pendant measures approximately 3 × 4 cm.The necklace retains its delicate original chain with decorative filigree panels. The spring clasp is likely a slightly later replacement.The piece previously incorporated a brooch fitting in addition to the pendant suspension; this has been professionally removed by my jeweller to make the jewel more comfortable and wearable around the neck.Length: 40 cm (16 inches)Weight: 8.85 gramsA wonderfully expressive example of French Art Nouveau jewellery; elegant, fantastical, and unmistakably of its era.
