Art Nouveau Jewelry Exhibit at the MFA

Currently on display at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts

Designed by Charles Desrosiers sometime between 1898-1901. Note the light coming through the petals... it's translucent/backless enamel called plique à jour!



This necklace reminds me of pea pods. The pearls are ones that formed on the wall of the ouster shell.
