About the Item
This is an absolutely wonderful and rare antique French Victorian Scarab, Beetle, Insect on a Leaf Pendant Necklace in 18 Karat Gold. The stunning three dimensional insect sits on a leaf form pendant. The fully modeled scarab beetle is wonderful. The 18 Karat yellow gold is vibrant. The leaf is beautifully designed. The Victorians were fascinated with nature and particularly insects, and their insect creations are incredible feats of jewelry making. This whimsical bug dances delightfully around the neck and creates a conversation piece to be passed on for generations. And insect inspired jewels are all the rage today. These antique insect gems are among the most highly desired and collected today.
The insect pendant is 1 inch (27 mm) long including the bale. Without the bale it is 7/8 inch long.
The pendant is 3/4 inch (18mm) wide.
The pendant weighs 1.6 grams.
The listing is only for the pendant. The neck chain is only shown for display.

Egyptian Revival Plique A Jour Enamel Winged Scarab Insect Brooch Pin Art Deco
Located in New York, NY
A rare Art Deco Egyptian Revival masterpiece of a Winged Scarab Insect Brooch done in Plique a Jour Enamel over Silver. The Museum Quality brooch depicts a winged Scarab beetle, one of the signature motifs of the Egyptian Revival movement.

When finished, the Plique enamel creates a see through enamel which allows light to shine through, reminiscent of a stained glass window. This brooch is a masterpiece of the technique and one of the most beautiful pieces we have seen. The brooch pin is Silver with a gold wash. It dates to the Art Nouveau to Art Deco period, circa 1880-1920. It has its early C-clasp. The brooch could be easily converted to a pendant necklace if desired.
Plique-à-jour (French for "letting in daylight") is a vitreous enameling technique where the enamel is applied in cells, similar to cloisonné, but with no backing in the final product, so light can shine through the transparent or translucent enamel. It is in effect a miniature version of stained-glass and is considered very challenging technically: high time...
