An Art Nouveau Enamel And Diamond Dragonfly Pendant

About the Item

An Art Nouveau enamel and diamond dragonfly pendant, the body set with old European and rose-cut diamonds, and bearing green plique-à-jour enamel decorations, the head with two cabochon-cut ruby-set eyes, the bottom legs terminating to two drop pearls, the articulated wings with blue plique-à-jour enamel decorations embellished with old and rose-cut diamonds, all suspended by a three old-cut diamonds and a gold pendant loop, the diamonds estimated to weigh 0.5 carats in total, all set in yellow gold mount, bearing French import marks for 18ct gold, circa 1910, measuring approximately 6.4 x 5.2cm, gross weight 10.2 grams. This antique pendant is in very good condition for its age. An enchanting Art Nouveau enamel and diamond dragonfly pendant from the collection of Bentley & Skinner, the London jewellers by appointment to both Her Majesty the Queen and His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. This intricately detailed dragonfly features blue and green plique-à-jour enamel, a technique which allows light to pass through creating the effect of stained glass. The translucent enamel is set in buttery yellow gold mount and embellished by twinkling diamonds. Enamel has been used throughout antiquity and has been rediscovered during the Art Nouveau period. Suggestive rather than realistic, this whimsical pendant with its articulated wings would look charming on a simple gold chain. Should you choose to make this purchase we would be delighted to send it to you in a Bentley & Skinner handmade leather case packed in a gift-wrapped Bentley & Skinner black and gold presentation box. Shortly afterwards we will send you on a valuation for insurance purposes for your reference and safekeeping.
