Art Nouveau Dragonfly Pendant Portuguese the goddess of grainDATE: Art Nouveau, c. 1910 Charming antique art nouveau pendant crafted in sterling silver, circa 1910. The pendant depicts a dragonfly and is finished in colourful enamel, with hues of yellow and turquoise in the wings and black for the body. A silver band is set just behind with a bail to add to your chain. Dragonflies spend most of their lives as nymphs below the water's surface, and only exist as the dragonfly that we know for six to eight months
