Art Nouveau Gold and Diamond Portrait Locket | c.1910
POA
Description
This lyrical French locket from the early 1900s blends the spirit of Art Nouveau with bohemian romanticism.
Cast in rich 18ct gold, the locket is shaped as a four-leaf clover, each petal a nod to love, hope, faith, and luck, while a finely modelled female profile graces the front, her hair swept back and dotted with tiny old-cut diamonds like constellations.
She feels less like decoration and more like a muse.
Likely worn by a woman with a literary or artistic soul, someone who moved between salons, gardens, and quiet moments of reflection - this locket holds both beauty and meaning.
The soft, sculptural form and natural motifs evoke the era’s fascination with individuality and emotion.
The inside is designed to hold a keepsake or photo, offering a tangible link to memory.
Today, it makes a deeply personal statement - worn loose on a long chain, layered with other treasures, or close to the heart on its own.
This is a piece for someone who loves elegance, but with a story to tell.
Available exclusively at ELTONS, Grays Antique Market, Mayfair, London.
