Circa 1900 Art Nouveau brooch in 18ct yellow gold, formed as a whiplash spray of ribbons and a blossoming flower. Eight tapered pearls, often called ‘dogtooth' pearls, are set as petals around a warm gold centre, their soft lustre playing against the lightly textured goldwork. A charming, sculptural jewel of the period. Unmarked, with safety chain.

Style
Art Nouveau - Art Nouveau (French for New Style) is an international movement and style of art, architecture and applied art - especially the decorative arts - that peaked in popularity at the turn of the 20th century (1890–1905).
The name "Art Nouveau" is French for "new art". It is also known as Jugendstil, German for "youth style", named after the magazine Jugend, which promoted it, and in Italy, Stile Liberty from the department store in London, Liberty & Co., which popularised the style, and in Holland as "Sla-olie-stijl", Dutch for "salad oil style" after an advertisement poster for this product that was made in that style.
A reaction to academic art of the 19th century, it is characterized by organic, especially floral and other plant-inspired motifs, as well as highly stylized, flowing curvilinear forms. Art Nouveau is an approach to design according to which artists should work on everything from architecture to furniture, making art part of everyday life. Although Art Nouveau fell out of favour with the arrival of 20th-century modernist styles, it is seen today as an important bridge between the historicism of Neoclassicism and modernism.

Extra information
These unusual tapered pearls are often called "dogtooth pearls" in the jewellery trade, a descriptive term for elongated freshwater pearls shaped like small fangs or petals. Around 1900, such pearls were frequently used as stylised flower petals, because their soft lustre and gentle irregularity bring a natural, lively effect to the design. They are traditionally associated with North American river mussels, including the wider Mississippi River system, which supplied freshwater pearls used in antique and early twentieth century jewellery.
