About the Item

This exceptional Antique French Guilloché Enamel Joan of Arc Pendant is a rare and remarkable example of 19th-century French craftsmanship. Created from solid 18k yellow gold, which has been tested for authenticity, the pendant showcases a finely detailed portrait of Joan of Arc, the French heroine and martyr, symbolizing courage, faith, and patriotism. The intricacy of the Guilloché enamel work, an almost lost technique due to its technical complexity, produces a rich, translucent color depth that highlights the exquisite portraiture of Joan of Arc. The pendant’s design is further elevated by gold appliqué decorations in the form of a crown and gown, the latter embellished with two rose-cut diamonds—a distinctive feature of old-cut diamonds, known for their soft, antique brilliance. These stones add a subtle yet captivating sparkle, complementing the enamel and gold detailing. As a portrait pendant, this piece offers a unique glimpse into the artistry of the period, combining fine enamelwork with the elegance of period jewelry. The use of Guilloché enamel, a technique involving intricate engraved patterns under layers of translucent enamel, is rare and highly prized by collectors. The bail (the top attachment) of the pendant is not made of gold or any other precious metal, distinguishing it from the main body of the piece, which is crafted entirely from 18k yellow gold. MEASUREMENTS: Weight: 6.3 grams; Diameter: 3.00 cm; Length with bail: 3.6 cm. COMPOSITION: 18k yellow gold (tested), two rose-cut diamonds. CONDITION: The pendant is in good antique condition, with no scratches to the enamel portrait, and the gold embellishments are free of chips or cracks. There is slight enamel loss on the right side of the front, consistent with age. Please review the photos and video for further inspection. A rare and exceptional piece of antique French jewelry, perfect for collectors or those seeking a distinctive addition to their collection.
