Vintage Art Nouveau Dragon Necklace
This glorious Dragon holds a Rose cut diamond in its mouth and stands wings out stretched as if ready to fly. A beautiful 3 dimensional look in a nice large size this piece is a beautiful example of late 19th century ingenuity and design. Made of FIX, see description below, suspended from a gold filled chain and holding a natural rose cut diamond which is set in a sterling silver bezel.
Excellent piece of FIX jewelry from the late 1800's. FIX was the European version of Pinchbeck, an amazing gold substitute giving you the look of 18k gold using alloys, so no wear thru and always a rich gold color.
Details....The necklace measures 21" long, the pendant is 1.60" wide and 1.62" long. In very good antique condition. You should always expect some wear on vintage and antique jewels, we consider it part of the charm.
