Let’s celebrate springtime! A beautiful example of Art Nouveau craftsmanship from the late 1800s/early 1900s, this sterling silver oval locket features an elegant repoussé design of stylised daffodils, their flowing stems and softly sculpted blooms embodying the organic forms so characteristic of the Art Nouveau era. The gently textured background enhances the sculptural quality of the flowers, creating subtle depth and light reflection across the surface. Opening to reveal two oval compartments lined with original inserts, the piece retains its sentimental purpose as a keepsake for photographs or small mementos. Elegant yet personal, this locket captures the Art Nouveau fascination with nature and symbolism — the daffodil traditionally representing renewal, hope, and new beginnings. Its refined simplicity makes it equally suitable for everyday wear or as a meaningful gift.
Sold with a sterling silver chain for immediate wearability.
