This Art Deco pate de verre glass pendant dates from 1920 and is designed by Gabriel Argy-Rousseau. The oval piece is worked in translucent green, purple, and white glass, featuring a relief-moulded cicada set against a leaf background. The sculpture incorporates blue details at the insect eyes, dark shading across the wings and body, and suspension loops threaded with replacement green silk cords. The drop measures 6.5 cm high, with cords reaching a maximum of 92 cm that can be shortened as needed. The pendant is suitable for wear as an accessory or display within a collection of period jewellery.

FAQs

Pate de verre, meaning paste of glass, is an ancient kiln-casting technique revived in France during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. During the Art Deco movement, artists used this method to create small sculptural objects and jewellery characterised by semi-translucent finishes and detailed relief patterns.

Finely crushed glass of various colours was combined with a binding agent to form a paste. Artisans applied this paste into a plaster mould using brushes or tools before firing the mould in a furnace to fuse the glass particles together.

Authentic pieces often exhibit soft, satin-like surface textures, slight internal air bubbles, and subtle colour gradations resulting from the hand-applied glass paste. Many original examples from key makers also feature moulded signatures or initials integrated into the design.

These pendants are commonly worn as statement necklaces paired with modern minimalist garments to highlight the jewel-toned glass. They can be suspended on silk cords, velvet ribbons, or delicate precious metal chains.

Clean gently using a soft, dry cloth or a slightly damp microfibre cloth with lukewarm water. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners, ultrasonic baths, and sudden temperature shifts, which can damage aged glass or silk cords.
