Large Art Nouveau Woman Sterling Silver Photo Locket, Nymph, Maiden Locket, Flowing Hair Lady, Personalized Pendant, Gift for Her
People say a fine piece of jewelry is a form of art. I believe this is the perfect example of that!
This gorgeous Art Nouveau repousse sterling silver locket features the impeccable and vivid image of a nymph (a mythological spirit of nature imagined as a beautiful maiden). If it is not art, what is it?
"Nymph" along with 'Gibson Girl' are part of a classic jewelry style in the Art Nouveau Era. Pieces of the era typically feature a design with a pretty woman image, accented with fluid flower decors, flowing hair or scenery view. All extremely feminine!
The back is completely clean with no monograms, which is quite unusual for a piece this old.
*The listing is for the locket only. If you need a chain, I would be happy to provide a new sterling silver chain at my cost. Please send me a note at or before your checkout.
Measurement of the locket: about 1 & 3/8" without the bale and jump ring, which is quite large in size compared to conventional 1" or 1 & 1/4" sized ones.
