Arts & Crafts StickpinArts & Crafts! |
The Arts & Crafts movement created jewels of tranquil beauty that found inspiration in natural, organic forms. The aesthetic goal was to follow the natural flow of a line or curve without undue embellishment or ornament. This elegant stickpin with a small sparkling diamond is a wonderful example. Crafted in 14kt gold, circa 1900.
The Arts & Crafts movement overlapped the brief flourishing of Art Nouveau. The two design movements inspired and influenced each other. While Art Nouveau emphasized asymmetrical, dramatically flowing designs, Arts & Crafts jewels tended toward symmetry and more tranquil curves. Both found inspiration in nature. Beautifully crafted, this stickpin is secured with a sturdy gold pin stem attached to the back. The stickpin is unsigned. Cost: Although this elegant stickpin has sold, you will find many more fine stickpins in the Antique Stickpin Gallery. |
