Antique French 18K Art Nouveau Griffin Pendant Brooch

$3,900.00

A lithe griffin, poised to pounce, grips a sparkling rose-cut diamond in its beak in this finely detailed mythological pendant brooch from the late 19th century France. A glowing cabochon amethyst eye lends a flash of color and character, while the wings are delicately lined with a graduated line of rose-cut diamonds, enhancing the sense of movement.
