An exquisite Art Nouveau/Arts & Crafts sterling silver leaf pendant with a natural freshwater pearl drop.
Superb quality with an incredible level of skilled workmanship this unique cast pendant is in the form of a water lily and amazingly lifelike with every leaf vein visible. A beautiful baroque river pearl dangles from the base and it suspends from an elegant curb chain.
This pendant has a built-in double bale on the reverse for wear as a pendant and it also a pin back should you wish to wear it as a brooch. This piece is stamped with a makers mark on the back that looks like 'aa' or 'ee' but we are unable to identify it.
