A beautiful enamelled and hammered metal pendant, Jacques Gautier, 1960s, France
About the Item
Two subtle, contrasting shades of blue enamel make this pendant hand crafted by Jacques Gautier eye-catching and appealing, a watery aquamarine blue next to a grey darker blue. Highly typical of the exquisite work of Jacques Gautier, the metal work is a beautiful gunmetal silver, hammered and textured, the enamel work, next to none, of which Gautier was a master. Beautiful to wear.
Jacques Gautier was a true creator of artisan jewellery. The discovery of Renaissance ceramics and enamels proved to be an epiphany, leading him to develop his own enamelling techniques, reinterpreting the practices of the past in his own personal style. The translucency of the enamel, the inclusions in the glass, with the effect of the silvered backing all gave an inimitable resonance to his jewels, made throughout the 1960s in France. He created pieces for Christian Dior, Nina Ricci, Pierre Cardin and Paco Rabanne amongst others.
