Art Nouveau Carved Carnelian Lavalier Necklace

This rare Art Nouveau lavalier necklace features four beautifully carved carnelian stones connected with intricately detailed cherry blossom links in 14k gold—likely a Chinese export piece from the 1910s. This necklace is a striking example of East-meets-Art Nouveau style and a celebration of craftsmanship, symbolism, and wearable art.
