Holbeinesque Amethyst Diamond Enamel Natural Pearl and Gold Pendant, Circa 1865
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.
