№ 223Z
Rare Find
An unusual Art Nouveau 18ct gold brooch that can also be worn as a pendant. It has a brooch fitting and a hinged loop for a chain. It was made circa 1895-1910 and is a highly detailed piece of jewellery. It is a botanical motif which was a popular subject in the Art Nouveau era as plant forms were celebrated. The flower spray has been enamelled in pink and green. Around it is Plique-a-Jour Enamel. Plique-à-jour enamelling was used by the skilled craftsmanship of great Art Nouveau jewellers and artists such as Rene Lalique, Louis Comfort Tiffany, and Peter Carl Faberge. This type of enamelling is considered to be a technical “tour de force”. It is the most beautiful and most difficult of enamelling techniques. Plique-à-jour, (which loosely translates as “light of day”), is sometimes referred to as “backless cloisonné” because of the appearance of the fine gold filigree wire “veins” running through areas of transparent and translucent glass (vitreous) enamel.
The whole is framed in 18ct gold with five old mine cut diamonds above and a pear shaped natural pearl drop.
