Pablo Picasso Design Faune Cavalier 23k Gold Medallion Pendant Estate Jewelry

About the Item

This Faune Cavalier (Faun Rider) gold medallion pendant is a remarkable piece of wearable art, created from a design by Pablo Picasso and crafted in gold by Pierre Hugo in the 1980s. After Picasso met Pierre Hugo in 1955, the artist and the goldsmith worked on a series of large serving platters, using the ancient technique of repousse. Later this series of platters started Picasso’s collection of twenty-two gold medallions (each an edition of twenty with two artist’s proofs). The pendant showcases Picasso's iconic style, depicting a faun—a mythical creature he frequently explored—riding a horse. The detailed relief of the faun and horse is surrounded by Picasso’s engraved signature and symbols. The pendant’s organic, slightly irregular shape enhances its artisanal feel. This work is number 1 from the edition of 20. The pendant comes with the original wooden box and a certificate of authenticity. The chain necklace is made of 14k gold. The Picasso pendant is made of 23 karat yellow gold. The vintage pendant measures 2" (5.3 cm) in diameter and weighs 36.5 grams. It is stamped with Pablo Picasso maker's mark, serial numbers, French hallmarks for 18 karat gold, Pierre Hugo workshop hallmark. The chain is made of 14 karat yellow gold. It measures 25 3/4" x 1/16" (65 x 0.2 cm) and weighs 14.9 grams. About Estate Jewelry: Estate jewelry is an excellent way to buy high-quality pieces at a fair price. Those who appreciate classic or one-of-a-kind pieces prefer purchasing estate jewelry for a wide range of styles and historical influences. Buying jewelry online can be challenging. The quality of the making has not gotten better over time while the design is getting more and more generic. Add ever rising prices and you could end up not finding anything suitable. To purchase a high-quality jewelry piece for an obtainable price consider buying estate items. • Quality vs Quantity Estate pieces mostly belong to the era when jewels were handmade and not mass produced. There were simply less jewelry makers at that time and they cared about their reputation. Opposed to the current fast fashion approach, life pace was in general slower. That allowed makers to take more time to craft a truly quality piece. • Fair price vs Overpriced Designer pieces aka signed pieces can cost multiple times more than their unsigned equivalents. We pay not only for an item itself but also for the brand advertising campaigns and all the buzz the name creates. Prices for estate jewelry form differently and mostly depend on the cost paid by a seller. A pre-owned Bulgari ring and a brand-new Bulgari piece have a significant price difference. Ask your local jewelry store about the retail price of the desired piece and you’ll be pleasantly surprised. • True value vs Seasonal Rush Pre-owned jewelry retains its value as over time it gets unique and sought-after. Think about purchasing a new car that loses its value right after you leave your dealer versus buying a vintage vehicle. At Nadine Krakov Collection we are in love with all the things beautiful. Each of our estate jewelry pieces is in excellent condition. We preserve the history and the greatest styles of the past so our clients can enjoy it to the fullest.

About Buckle Symbolism in Jewelry: Buckle design is a classic element in jewelry making. It’s dated as far as the early 1800’s. Perhaps the trend was started by Queen Victoria who was wearing her buckle ring as sign of the Order of the Garter membership. The symbol of the order featured a buckle belt. Also, buckles are designed to connect and fasten things together, making them symbolic of connection. In jewelry it can represent the bond between two people. For bracelets or rings it may be interpreted as a token of commitment or friendship. Belts are often associated with security due to their ability to hold items in place. In jewelry, it’s particularly reflected in designs like chokers where buckles serve both functional and decorative purposes. They can represent personal strength and self-assurance. In some cultures, buckles are seen as protective symbols. The idea is that a buckle can "lock" or "seal" something. In jewelry, buckles might be incorporated into designs to symbolize guarding against negative influences. The symbolism of buckles in jewelry design can vary based on individual preferences. It reflects the wearer's intentions and the context in which it’s worn. About Gübelin Jewelry: Six generations of the family-owned jewelry business and counting.
