Art Nouveau Kohn 14k Yellow Gold Nymph with Amethyst & Pearl Brooch

A striking and highly artistic example of Art Nouveau craftsmanship, this antique brooch by Kohn captures the movement’s signature blend of natural beauty and flowing design. Expertly crafted in 14k yellow gold, the piece features an ethereal maiden motif with softly sculpted facial details and cascading, fluid hair that seamlessly merges into the surrounding organic forms. The design is centered around a large, richly colored oval amethyst, whose deep violet hue provides a dramatic focal point. Accenting the composition are luminous natural pearls, thoughtfully placed throughout the flowing gold framework, adding softness and contrast to the bold gemstone centerpiece. The sinuous lines and openwork detailing exemplify the Art Nouveau aesthetic, emphasizing movement, femininity, and harmony with nature. Both sculptural and wearable, this brooch stands as a beautiful collector’s piece and a testament to early 20th-century artistry—ideal for those who appreciate fine antique jewelry with strong visual presence and historical significance.
