Extraordinary pendentive in punched 925 silver and with a huge agate stone cabochon, made in the Art Nouveau style, an artistic movement that flourished between 1890 and 1910. This style is known for its organic, fluid and asymmetrical shapes, inspired by nature. The center stone, a naturally veined agate, is inserted as the focal point of the brooch. The spirals and small rounded motifs are reminiscent of vines or stylized branches. The filigree technique and the small dots that decorate the edges of the brooch underline the attention to detail and the delicacy of the craftsmanship. Can be used as a brooch; pendant, with a silver chain, or even embedded in a rich buckle of a beautiful tribal-style belt. The piece comes with a couple of holes drilled at the ends.
