Magnificent Art Nouveau pendant with precious stones

The symmetrical interplay of flowing lines in the design of this 18K yellow gold Art nouveau pendant is a reflection of a lady's grace. An inner concave silhouette with a button pearl in its lozenge-shaped top cornered with six old mine brilliant cut diamonds around a central openwork oval ends in an openwork triangular bottom with a suspending seed pearl. An openwork convex outline extends the lozenge with a left and right corner each embellished with a red cabochon cut precious stone between two old mine brilliant cut diamonds and sweep all the way to the bottom.
