* * SOLD * *



An Art Nouveau era brooch, modeled as an adorable wyvern (dragon) in 14k yellow gold. Our beautiful beast is dimensional, highly stylized, and she is covered with a multitude of tiny natural pearls that represent her scales! She is winged, with two legs, a curling tail, and a vibrant green demantoid garnet eye. She hold an old European cut diamond in her mouth— a treasure that traditionally represents wisdom or knowledge. We love the texture of this wyvern's many seed pearls, which are all original and perfectly preserved, along with the creature's gestalt, which is both dignified and super cute! This brooch is fitted with a locking c-clasp, and a hook from which the wearer might hang a small watch or favorite locket. It is marked 14k for purity and with a control number "16A."
