Art Nouveau Lady Pendant Surrounded With Swirls Of Sterling Silver And Aquamarine

Interlaced ribbons of sterling silver hairlocks surround a woman’s face who could be a goddess or a mermaid. Made of finely crafted silverwork, the pendant is unusual in its detail, echoing the style of Art Nouveau, popular in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. The necklace consists of ornate sterling silver beads with intermittent pale blue aquamarine nuggets. This highly detailed necklace is ornate from beginning to end with a beautiful delicate hook-style clasp at the end.
Representing happiness, hope, and everlasting youth, aquamarine has been incorporated into the most famous human civilizations throughout the ages, including being found buried with mummies. Aquamarine was used by seamen as a talisman for protection. It was believed in Roman times that aquamarine could cleanse water. Wealthy patrons would have drinking goblets carved out of aquamarine with the purpose of purifying the water.
