Art Nouveau Butterfly & Lily Necklace

A celebration of light, grace, and metamorphosis, the Art Nouveau Butterfly & Lily Necklace captures the poetic spirit of the Belle Époque. Handwrought in 18K gold, its organic lines entwine in a golden lattice of movement and symmetry—cradling a rare 27.15-carat blue-green apatite of mesmerizing depth.

To the left, a lily unfurls in deep green enamel, its petals alive with vitality. Opposite, a butterfly in translucent plique-à-jour wings hovers mid-flight, a symbol of transformation rendered in glass and gold. Suspended beneath the central gem, a round green Montana sapphire lends a final note of color harmony and quiet brilliance.

This singular piece embodies the Gilded Age Jewelry™ ethos: heirloom craftsmanship inspired by the natural world’s lyricism, realized with the precision of modern goldsmithing. It is not merely worn—it is inhabited.
