Description

Masriera is a historic jewelry brand renowned for its intricate Art Nouveau designs. Founded in Barcelona, Spain, in the late 19th century, the brand became synonymous with the Art Nouveau movement, which emphasized organic forms, flowing lines, and nature-inspired motifs.

One of Masriera’s signature techniques is plique-à-jour enamel work, a difficult and highly refined method resembling stained glass, allowing light to pass through translucent enamel without a metal backing. Their pieces often feature intricate enamel work, sculpted gold, and delicate depictions of flora, fauna, and feminine figures, reflecting the artistic and decorative ideals of the time.

Masriera’s exquisite craftsmanship has earned a place in various museums worldwide. Their jewelry is exhibited in prestigious institutions such as the Musée d’Orsay in Paris, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York. These collections celebrate the brand’s mastery of Art Nouveau jewelry and its role in preserving this artistic tradition.

This beautiful pendant can also be worn as a brooch. This piece is called Magnificence and is available currently from the Masriera website for $15,500.00 USD. At the present we can find no other example available in the pre-loved market. If you are a collector of the art that is Masriera this is a fleeting opportunity for a excellent value purchase.
