Antique Art Nouveau Gold-Filled Locket Necklace with Moonstones – Designed by Elisabeth Michel-Meyrueix
Step into a world of timeless elegance with this stunning antique Art Nouveau locket pendant necklace. Crafted in the early 20th century, and believed to have a British origin, this locket masterfully combines delicate artistry with historical charm.
The gold-filled locket showcases exquisite repousse swirl motifs on the front and is engraved with the name Effie on the back—a heartfelt detail that adds a layer of nostalgia. Inside, the locket is lined with vintage floral paper featuring delicate white and purple blossoms, making it a cherished keepsake for photos or mementos.

The locket is suspended on a strand of light green moonstones with vermeil accents, designed and assembled by French jewelry designer Elisabeth Michel-Meyrueix in the early 2000s. While the necklace is a more contemporary addition, it complements the antique locket perfectly. The piece is finished with a vermeil toggle clasp and signed with the designer's hang tag, attesting to its authenticity and craftsmanship.
