The naturalistic treatment of the leaves — their surfaces worked to capture the texture of the real thing — is characteristic of the finest Art Nouveau goldsmithing, which drew its inspiration directly from the forms of the natural world. The satin-finished gold of the leaves provides a deliberate contrast to the brilliant sparkle of the old mine cut diamonds, the interplay of matt and bright surfaces giving the piece a sophistication that belies its small scale. Old mine cut diamonds, with their high crowns, small tables and large culets, have a warmer, more romantic fire than modern brilliant cuts — particularly flattering at the scale of a stickpin. Tests as 18ct gold; unknown European maker's marks. Head 1.9 × 1.1cm; pin length 7cm; weight 2.2g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCirca:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1900\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.2g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead dimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.9 × 1.1cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePin length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHallmarks:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tests as 18ct gold; unknown European maker's marks\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStones:\u003c\/strong\u003e Old mine cut diamonds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wildsmith Jewellery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58233123701120,"sku":null,"price":1550.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0273\/2127\/0385\/files\/77B023E8-AA1A-4502-8B87-C5B27B863939.jpg?v=1781003208","url":"https:\/\/wildsmithjewellery.co.uk\/ru\/products\/art-nouveau-18ct-gold-diamond-sycamore-leaf-stickpin-c-1900","provider":"Wildsmith Jewellery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
