This Art Nouveau beauty is just divine--made of buttery 9k yellow gold front and back (her working components made of a stronger metal) and adorned with a beautiful paste encrusted art nouveau design on the front. She is in wonderful condition for her age with one frame still included to hold your picture, and we believe her to be circa 1900. She is a good medium size that would look good on any size person, and we also adore her bail. All of her details are just good, what can we say?

Very good antique condition- one frame inside. Outside has little to no wear and no damage. Paste stones are nice and sparkly.
What is Paste?
Paste stones are imitation gemstones that were very popular during Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, and Art Deco time periods. Made from glass or lead crystals that are cut and polished to look like real gems, they are still collectible for one of the main reasons they were made in the first place: appearing to be the real deal, and if lost or stolen, they weren't as costly to lose.
