Art Deco 18kt Yellow Gold French Pendant Enamel Portrait

About the Item

The Art Deco 18kt Yellow Gold French Pendant is a stunning piece of jewelry that embodies the artistic and design elements of the Art Deco era, which was prominent during the 1920s and 1930s. Material: The pendant is crafted from 18-karat yellow gold, a luxurious and valuable metal known for its durability and lustrous appearance. Enamel Portrait: The centerpiece of the pendant features an enamel portrait, which is a technique of applying finely ground glass powder to the metal surface and then firing it at high temperatures to create a colorful and detailed image. In this case, the portrait is a hand-painted representation of a person, adding a personal and artistic touch to the piece. Filigree: Filigree is a delicate and intricate metalwork technique where fine wires of gold are twisted and soldered together to create a lace-like pattern. This technique is often used to add a sense of lightness and elegance to the jewelry. Repoussé Technique: Repoussé is a metalworking technique where the gold is hammered from the reverse side to create a three-dimensional relief on the front. This process results in a sculpted appearance, adding depth and texture to the overall design. Overall Design: The combination of the enamel portrait, filigree work, and repoussé technique showcases the craftsmanship and attention to detail typical of Art Deco jewelry. The pendant has symmetrical patterns, common characteristics of the Art Deco style. This piece was created in France, known for its rich history of jewelry making and its significant contributions to the Art Deco movement. French enamel is a fine miniature painting in enamel that, in its best form, may rival oil paintings.This pendant is in good condition with normal signs of wear commensurate with the age of the jewel. Overall, this Art Deco 18kt Yellow Gold French Pendant would have been a highly sought-after and valuable piece during its time and remains a valuable collector's item and an exquisite example of the artistic beauty of the Art Deco era.
