About the Item

Dating from the 1970s, this Pisces pendant by Van Cleef & Arpels is composed of 18K gold, diamond, and emeralds. The ribbed bail suspends a circular pendant, within ropetwist frame, depicting a pair of fish in high relief textured 18K gold, with emerald eyes, encircling a starfish centering a diamond, atop of tablet of malachite with patterning resembling swirling sea water, the reverse with two conforming starfish. Playful and fun, this astrological pendant represents the freedom and spiritual curiosity of the 1970s, combined with the contemporary passion for chunky gold and rich color. Product Details: Item #: PT-20559 Artist: Van Cleef & Arpels Country: France Circa: 1970s Size: 2.25” diameter Materials: 1 round-cut diamond (approximate total weight 0.05 carat); 3 round-cut emeralds (approximate total weight 0.15 carat); Malachite; 18K gold (44.8 grams/69.6 dwt) Signed: VC&A, French assay marks, no. 1957 Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes: Van Cleef & Arpels’ “Zodiaque” designs were fist introduced in the 1950s, and reappeared during the 1970s, when astrology enjoyed a strong revival of interest. The 1970s pendants, larger and more intricate, featured colorful enamels, hardstones, and gems. The twelfth sign of the zodiac, and associated with Aphrodite, the goddess of love, Pisces is depicted as a pair of fish, and represents those born between February 19-March 20. Pisces are characterized as spiritual, selfless and creative. The two fish represent the dual aspects of Pisceans, who feel an equal influence of humans’ earthly nature and divine soul. The sign is traditionally associated with deep sea green.

René Lalique Plique-à-jour Enamel and Natural Pearl Breton Lion and Seaweed Pend
By René Lalique
Located in New York, NY
Likely created circa 1903-1907, this plique-à-jour enamel and natural pearl pendant brooch with chain by René Lalique is set in 18K gold. The modified triangular form, composed of chased 18K gold, centers two stalks of seaweed among pale green plique-à-jour enamel seawater, symmetrically bordered by rampant lions joined at the top at the tips of their tufted tails, the reverse counter enameled, suspending a natural saltwater pear-shape pear with rose tones. A work of subtle homage to Brittany and its wild coastline, this flowing form harmoniously combines motifs evoking the marine flora and history of this noble-spirited region of France so beloved of late 19th century artists. Product Details: Item #: N-21379 Artist: René Lalique Country: France Circa: 1903-1907 Materials: 1 natural saltwater pearl (measuring approximately 9.85 x 8.62 mm); Plique-à-jour Enamel; 18K Gold Signed: LALIQUE Documentation: Accompanied by GIA report #6237144602 dated December 13, 2023, stating that the pearl is natural and of saltwater origin. Macklowe Gallery Curator's Notes: French artists like Monet and Gaugin discovered the "emerald coast" of Brittany, Western France, in the 1880s. They captured the independent spirit of the inhabitants, dressed immaculately in their distinctive regional attire, engaged in traditional rural and seaside pursuits such as haymaking, tending animals, fishing, and journeying in groups on foot through the countryside to attend mass. Another activity that captured the artists' imagination was the more unusual activity of the seaweed harvest. Gaugin and others captured these Breton "Goemoniers'" quiet dignity as they performed this backbreaking work, raking, drying and burning the massive stacks, variously employing horsedrawn carts or the more strenuous hand barrows...
