About the Item

An Holbein style amethyst, diamond, enamel, natural pearl and gold pendant, circa 1865 It is oval, carrying in its center an amethyst in a set, each punctuated by a rose-cut diamond. The entourage is enamelled in polychrome cloisonné, also enhanced with rose-cut diamonds. The border is of small fine pearls and a square pendant in tassel. The reverse is finely engraved with arabesques and foliage. The original jewelry drawings by German painter Hans Holbein the Younger (1497-1543), court painter of King Henry VII of England, were the inspiration for this Neo-Renaissance style, 400 years later. Characteristic for “Holbeinesque” jewels are the little flowers in red-green-blue Cloisonné enamel. The style became popular after the 1862 International Exhibition in London, where many exhibitors displayed “Holbeinesque” pieces, these last are rare to find nowadays. Gross weight: 15.93 gr. Dimensions: 7.5cm x 3.8 cm
