Curiously timeless
Fearless French Art Nouveau 18K gold Chimera brooch/pendant
Fearless and legendary are the words to use when it is about the Chimera: it is probably one of those most mysterious creatures we can have in the antique jewelry. In front of us a beautiful example of the French antique Chimera brooch/pendant made during the beginning of the 20th century (The Art Nouveau era).
We enjoy looking at the beautiful details of this brooch: the sculptured feathers on his wings, the little pearls in his mouth and attached on his tail, as well as his lively facial expressions. We believe that anyone who wears this piece will feel empowered.
There are two hoops on the back of the chimera so you can also attach it on a chain.
