Artisan Antiques has dated this piece to the Edwardian era.
The pendant overall is in the shape of a circle, however, towards the bottom, a very stylish swirl and asymmetrical break is created, capturing the essence of the naturalistic and fluid design of foliate and floral motifs.
The enamel work is simply wonderful and exceptionally fine - a gradation of pink, orange and green is achieved on a very small section of the leaf and hue/reflection under natural lighting is enchanting with an iridescent 'creamy' appearance.
Last but not least, tapering seed pearls at the top form a wonderful curvature that accentuates the rest of the larger pearls and the single droplet at the bottom which moves freely and truly comes to life upon wearing, fully embracing the fluid design of the Art Nouveau period.
Captivating and distinguished from contemporary pieces, this pendant makes for a wonderful addition to any antique jewellery lover's collection and a conversation starter upon wearing.
The pendant is marked 15ct on the reverse side.
Ready to wear out of the box: All of our pendants also include the photographed thinner complimentary 9ct solid gold (modern) chain so that you can enjoy your newly acquired treasure straight out of the box.
