About the Item

THIS IS A LOVELY ART NOUVEAU PENDANT NECKLACE WITH A BEAUTIFUL LAVENDER, CREAM, GREEN AND BLUE PLIQUE-A-JOUR ENAMEL PANSY FLOWER AND LEAVES IN THE CENTER OF A HEART. THE FLOWERS AND LEAVES ARE BEAUTIFULLY RENDERED WITH GREAT DETAIL IN THE ENAMEL WORK ON EACH PETAL. THE PENDANT HAS AN OPEN WORK DESIGN THAT ALONG WITH THE PLIQUE-A-JOUR ENAMEL GIVES THE PENDANT THE DIAPHANOUS EFFECT OF A STAINED GLASS WINDOW. THE HEART MOTIF WITH THE PANSY IS SUCH A ROMANTIC MEANINGFUL COMBINATION OF IMAGERY OF LOVE AND DEVOTION IN THE PENDANT. THE PENDANT IS SO FULL OF ROMANCE AS WELL AS THE DELIGHTS OF NATURE. PLIQUE-A-JOUR is a French term that translates to “letting in the daylight” and defines a type of transparent enamel that has no backing. Creating Plique jewels requires a master artisan with extraordinary skills. Plique jewels are highly sought after and beloved by collectors. Similar to a stained glass window, the design has a metal outline filled with various colored transparent, glass-like enamels. First discovered in the 15th century by Benvenuto Cellini, plique-à-jour was rediscovered in France circa 1900 and soared to new heights during the Art Nouveau period. Rene Lalique created his unrivaled plique-à-jour jewels by hand. Plique-à-jour provides a natural translucency, similar to that found in nature, which makes it ideal for rendering leaves, flowers, insect wings and other gossamer illusions. This technique is especially suitable for pendants and earrings, highlighting and featuring the play-of-color provided by light passing through the enamel. Undoubtedly, plique-à-jour was a critical innovation in developing the Art Nouveau aesthetic in jewelry. Pansy flowers symbolize forms of love including romantic love and platonic affection. Pansies also embody thoughtfulness, compassion, remembrance, and free-thinking The pendant is 1 inch (26mm) tall including the bales and it is 15mm wide. Without the bales the heart is 3/4 inch (19mm) tall. The pendant is 14 Karat Gold. The listing is only for the pendant. The chain is only shown for display. The pendant weighs .7 grams.
