Antique Enamel Diamond Griffin Brooch in 14k Solid Yellow Gold

A spectacular example of early 20th-century craftsmanship, this antique Art Nouveau brooch features a striking mythological griffin - half eagle, half lion- rendered in rich 14k yellow gold. Embodying both the elegance and symbolism of the Art Nouveau period, the piece is brought to life with exquisite enamel work in deep cobalt blue and a masterful attention to texture and form. The griffin clutches a stylized diamond-encrusted sword crowned with a luminous natural pearl, representing vigilance, courage, and protection.

From the intricate feathered wings adorned with old-cut diamonds to the fluid, serpentine tail wrapped in enamel, every element of this brooch showcases exceptional artistry and symbolism. Originally created around 1905, it remains a timeless expression of strength and refinement.
