Whimsical Portrait Locket with Seven Mine Cut Diamond Accents in 14K Yellow Gold

The Art Nouveau era is marked by a simple reverence for nature. Its pieces feature ornamental vines and flowers, dynamic movement, and asymmetry—artistic reactions against the strict, hierarchical order typical of neoclassical design. These curving, asymmetrical lines are at once graceful, lawless, and boldly rhythmic. The Art Nouveau woman is down-to-earth, literally and figuratively. She perceives beauty and significance in the ordinary and unpretentious, in day-to-day happenings—even the chaotic ones. She is wild and untamed yet steady and pacific.

No exception, the woman of this golden locket radiates naturalistic sensuality. Self-assured, she possesses an enviable sense of calmness. Eyes closed, a light breeze blows through her flowing, textured tresses. Lifting her chin in the breeze, she is utterly at peace; promising to summon her wearer into an elevated state of existence. 

On the reverse of the locket is a beautifully engraved monogram reading "MIK," adding a personal touch to this exquisite piece. The clasp that holds the hinged locket together is incredibly secure, promising to keep the locket's contents of your choice safe and secure. Crafted from 14K Yellow Gold, this locket boasts seven Old Mine Cut Diamonds totaling 0.18 Carats. These diamonds, ranging in VS-SI clarity and G-I color, adorn the piece with a subtle yet captivating sparkle throughout the woman's flowing mane.
