Art Deco 18ct Gold, Reverse Intaglio Rock Crystal Pendant of a Champion Tennis Player Susan Lenglan

675R
400 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A very unusual Reverse Intaglio rock crystal that is believed to represent a female tennis player called Susan Lenglan. Suzanne Rachel Flore Lenglen (24 May 1899 – 4 July 1938) was a French tennis player. She was ranked as the inaugural world No. 1 from 1921 to 1926, winning 8 Grand Slam singles titles and 21 in total, as well as 10 World Championship titles. She won six Wimbledon singles titles, including five in a row from 1919 to 1923, and also won triple crowns at the first two open French Championships in 1925 and 1926. In doubles, she was undefeated with her regular partner Elizabeth Ryan, highlighted by another six titles at Wimbledon. Because of her immense popularity and prominent social acquaintances, Lenglen is recognised as the first female athlete to become a global sport celebrity. She was also the first leading amateur to turn professional, and was ranked as the greatest women’s tennis player from the amateur era in the 100 Greatest of All Time series.
The crystal is mounted in an 18ct gold setting with a rope border. This is a rare piece of jewellery
