19 th. C. Art Nouveau Goddess Festoon Necklace with Garnets and Royston Turquoise

Stunningly designed by Jill Garber and handcrafted in her USA studio, this one-of-a-kind drop necklace beautifully unites 19th-century European artistry with Native American craftsmanship, creating a truly eclectic statement piece. At its heart, a late 19th-century French Art Nouveau porcelain portrait of a Goddess (2 1/8" x 1 3/4") serves as a radiant focal point, capturing the romantic elegance and refined artistry of the period.

Complementing the portrait are two bold, hand-stamped antique Navajo conchos, each centered with a 6 mm natural turquoise cabochon, forming striking festoons that harmoniously link with the porcelain centerpiece. Accentuating the composition, five natural cabochons—three turquoise and three 5 mm garnets—framed in delicate sterling silver beading—add layers of elegance and color. A third concho, accented with a garnet drop, falls gracefully beneath the Goddess’s ornate frame, creating a flowing, dynamic silhouette. The necklace is completed with an antique-style chain, bringing the total length to 20.5 inches, with an additional 2-inch concho drop enhancing its presence.

Every element reflects Jill Garber’s signature ability to merge historical, cultural, and spiritual influences into wearable art, making this necklace a timeless collector’s piece and a statement of refined luxury.

* The Art Nouveau period, flourishing in Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, celebrated organic forms, flowing lines, and the beauty of nature, inspiring artists and jewelers to create pieces that were both romantic and highly detailed. Jill Garber masterfully merges this European aesthetic with the bold symbolism and hand-stamped craftsmanship of Native American jewelry, creating a necklace that bridges cultures and eras. By pairing a delicate French Art Nouveau porcelain Goddess portrait with antique Navajo conchos and turquoise cabochons, she transforms historical motifs into a timeless, wearable work of art, where elegance, heritage, and artisanal skill converge in perfect harmony.
