Description

A luminous and lyrical necklace by Dorrie Nossiter, one of the most celebrated figures of the British Arts and Crafts movement.

Crafted circa 1920s, this piece showcases her signature blend of naturalistic design and vibrant gemstone combinations.

The pendant features a central rock crystal, prized for its clarity and light-reflecting qualities, complemented by fiery opals and verdant peridots.

These stones are meticulously set in a harmonious arrangement, reflecting Nossiter’s talent for creating chromatic symphonies that evoke the beauty of nature.

The use of both silver and gold in the setting adds depth and contrast, a hallmark of her work.

Measuring 54cm in chain length with a pendant size of 3.5cm x 2.5cm, the necklace sits gracefully, making it suitable for both everyday wear and special occasions.

Its design embodies the Arts and Crafts ethos of handcrafted beauty, celebrating the individuality of each element.

Nossiter’s pieces are rare and highly sought after, often unsigned, making this necklace not only a wearable work of art but also a valuable collector’s item.

It stands as a testament to her legacy and the enduring appeal of the Arts and Crafts movement.

Available exclusively at ELTONS, Grays Antique Market, Mayfair, London.
