About the Item

This exceptional early Victorian “D’un Ami” plaque was once a stickpin, now beautifully reimagined as a necklace. Hand fabricated in 18k gold, the flowing ribbon-shaped plaque is adorned with twinkling rose cut diamond lettering floating on a vibrant blue guilloche enamel ground. Reverse reads, “Admiral Sir W. Lake K.C.B. Obit. 18 Feb 1847”. This enamel ribbon was likely a memorial or tribute piece commissioned in his honor. The French phrase "D’un Ami," meaning "from a friend", suggests it was gifted by someone close to him. Admiral Sir Willoughby Thomas Lake KCB (8 January 1773 - 18 February 1847) was a distinguished Royal Navy officer who served as Commander-in-Chief of the North American Station and was promoted to Admiral of the White in 1842. He was also awarded the prestigious title of Knight Commander of the Order of the Bath (K.C.B.). Weight: 8 grams Length: 16.5” Pendant: 25 x 21 mm Chain: 14K
