Art Nouveau Locket of 10k Gold

A captivating example of Art Nouveau artistry, this antique locket (circa 1910) beautifully blends natural motifs with mythical symbolism. The front features exquisitely detailed repousse flowers surrounding a spirited dragon, a powerful emblem of strength, protection, and transformation. Together, they embody the era’s fascination with nature, fantasy, and feminine mystique.

The locket is crafted in solid 10k gold and bears the engraved initials “FPB” on the reverse — a touch of personal history that adds to its charm. It opens and closes securely and retains one of its original internal photo frames and a protective cover, ready to hold a treasured keepsake.

Measuring 1.4 inches from top to bottom by 1 inch wide, this jewel is offered in good condition with light surface wear consistent with age. The gold content has been verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, confirming its authenticity and quality.

Rich in symbolism and character, this locket is more than a piece of jewelry — it’s a wearable piece of history, perfect for the collector who appreciates the romance and artistry of the Art Nouveau period.
