Art Nouveau 18ct Gold Rose Cut Diamond and Pearl Wing Tie Pin
A charming Art Nouveau 18ct gold tie pin, designed as a luminous natural pearl with stylised outstretched wings, surmounted by a rose-cut diamond. Art Nouveau celebrated the beauty of the natural world, favouring flowing lines and organic forms over rigid symmetry. Wings were a recurring motif, symbolising freedom, transcendence, aspiration and the soul, while also evoking butterflies, dragonflies and mythical creatures that fascinated designers of the period. The natural pearl at the centre represents purity, wisdom and sincerity, while the rose-cut diamond above, with its softly glittering facets, symbolises strength, clarity and enduring love. Together, they create a jewel rich in sentiment, perfectly reflecting the poetic ideals of the Art Nouveau movement. With its graceful design and symbolic meaning, this is a delightful example of an early 20th-century gentleman's jewel.
