Art Nouveau Greenman Stickpin of 14k Gold

A captivating treasure from the Art Nouveau era, this exceptional stickpin embodies the imaginative spirit and masterful artistry that defined turn-of-the-century fine jewelry.

Rendered in rich 14k gold, the piece features a sculptural Green Man—an ancient symbol of renewal and the natural world—whose face is animated by a pair of vibrant ruby eyes, each delicately set in platinum for added depth and contrast. Between parted lips, he clasps a glittering 0.15ct old European cut diamond, a striking detail that speaks to the jeweler’s technical prowess and creative vision.

Measuring approximately 0.8 by 0.6 inches at its widest point, with an overall length of 2.8 inches, this heirloom-quality jewel weighs 3.23 grams and remains in outstanding condition. Its materials were confirmed through both XRF analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing, underscoring the integrity of the gold and platinum components.
