This Art Deco pendant dates from the early 20th century, specifically circa 1920. The piece takes the form of a fish modelled in silver with translucent glass enamelling. The hollow body shows engine-turned engraving covered in complementary hues of green, purple, and blue enamel, accented by an orange eye and a detailed fin. The top includes a suspension loop attached at the mouth, while the surface displays minor discolouration in one place alongside good overall condition. The item measures 2 cm high, 7 cm wide, and 1.5 cm deep. As a decorative pendant or charm, it suits collectors of antique jewellery and can be worn as a neck pendant using a compatible chain or displayed within a cabinet.

FAQs

Guilloche enamel is a technique where precise, intricate geometric patterns are mechanically engraved into metaloften sterling silverand subsequently covered with translucent enamel, allowing the underlying pattern to reflect light through the glass layer.

Pendants from this era typically feature sterling or continental silver foundations coated with vitrified glass enamel, occasionally embellished with small gemstones, paste accents, or hand-painted details.

Authentic pieces exhibit precise machine engraving beneath smooth, un-pitted translucent enamel, along with silver purity hallmarks stamped onto the bale, loop, or reverse metal casing.

A colourful enamel pendant can be layered on a fine silver chain alongside minimalist neckwear to introduce subtle colour and historical texture to modern wardrobes.

Clean enamel jewellery gently using a soft, dry microfibre cloth; avoid chemical dips, ultrasonic cleaners, and extreme temperature shifts, as thermal shock can crack the glass coating.
