Art Nouveau Winged Sea Serpent Charm of 14k Gold

An Art Nouveau charm crafted in 14K gold, featuring a beautifully detailed winged sea serpent or dragon with a sparkling diamond held in its jaws. The sinuous form and flowing wings capture the imaginative spirit of the Art Nouveau period, when natural forms, mythical creatures, and fluid lines were celebrated in jewelry design. The diamond accent adds a touch of brilliance to this unusual and evocative figural charm.

The charm measures approximately 1 inch from the top of the jump ring to the bottom by 0.5 inches wide and weighs 1.8 grams. It remains in great antique condition.

Metal authenticity can be professionally verified using XRF (X-ray fluorescence) analysis and traditional jeweler’s acid testing to confirm the 14K gold construction. Diamond identification can be supported by Raman spectroscopy, a non-destructive analytical technique that provides a precise chemical fingerprint to help characterize the gemstone.

With its fantastical subject, graceful Art Nouveau design, and finely rendered details, this antique charm is a distinctive addition to a fine jewelry collection.
