This Art Nouveau serpent brooch, dating to circa 1905, is a clear expression of his hand — intentional, sculptural, and uncompromising in quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"453\" data-end=\"690\"\u003eThe brooch, in 18k yellow gold and weighing 13.7 grams, is perfectly proportioned at 36 mm by 36 mm. Designed to be worn as both a brooch and a pendant, it reflects the thoughtful versatility characteristic of Lawrence’s work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"692\" data-end=\"1005\"\u003eAt the center sits an approximately 3.25-carat old European cut diamond, graded M\/VS2, selected not for modern brilliance but for its soft, period-correct glow. Demantoid garnet eyes bring the serpent to life, a subtle yet intelligent detail that feels symbolic rather than decorative, and unmistakably Lawrence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1007\" data-end=\"1328\"\u003eThe serpent itself carries deep meaning in late Victorian and Edwardian jewelry, symbolizing eternity, wisdom, and protection. In Lawrence’s hands, the motif becomes architectural and deliberate, never theatrical. A partial maker’s mark confirms attribution, firmly grounding the piece within his documented body of work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1330\" data-end=\"1509\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThis is not simply an Art Nouveau jewel.
