This peridot and pearl, plique à jour pendant pairs a fresh green with warming red tones and luminous pearls, suited to birthdays, anniversaries or romantic gestures. Its rare enamel work and fine craftsmanship make it a meaningful acquisition for collectors of artistic jewellery.

NOTE: * Plique-à-jour is a vitreous enamelling technique similar in technical execution to cloisonné, where the enamel is applied to defined 'cells' within a metal filigree. With plique-à-jour, there is no backing to the design, allowing light to pass through the enamelwork, suggestive of stained glass. Plique-à-jour is derived from the French 'braid letting in daylight'.
