This exquisite 1920s vintage Art Nouveau brooch is a captivating fusion of delicate symbolism and natural beauty, inspired by the timeless themes of Hamlet and the fragility of the human spirit. The piece features an elegant representation of Ophelia, with flowing lines evoking her tragic yet graceful descent into madness.

Water, symbolizing both life and loss, gently wraps around the design, suggesting the fluidity of emotions and the ethereal nature of time. Intertwined with the water are intricate depictions of flowers—roses, violets, and pansies—each chosen for their rich symbolism of love, faithfulness, and remembrance. These blooms reflect the delicate balance of innocence and sorrow in Ophelia’s story, adding a touch of poetic nostalgia.

A woodcock perched within the design evokes a sense of gentle innocence and vulnerability, alluding to the character's naïveté and tragic fate.

Crafted with exceptional detail, this brooch is not just a piece of jewelry but a work of art that speaks to the deeper emotions of love, loss, and remembrance. Its combination of nature-inspired elements and rich symbolism makes it a unique and meaningful accessory for those who appreciate the beauty of Art Nouveau and the complexity of literary themes.

This is a beautiful antique brooch of Ophelia from Shakespeare's play Hamlet. The safety clasp helps us date the piece to the early 1920s. It is hallmarked 925 (sterling silver) and measures 30 x 20 mm.
