French Art Nouveau 18K Gold Diamond Pearl Enamel Lily Pad Pendant
An exquisite Art Nouveau pendant/brooch in 18K gold with diamonds, pearls, and enamel. A lily pad, enameled in translucent shades of green, yellow, and rose centers the brooch, and is surrounded by whiplash curves of 95 round diamonds. A large diamond-set lily blossom appears at the top of the frame. All the diamond areas are set in silver-topped gold, as was the custom in French jewels of the period. The design is accented with pearls, including a pearl drop at the bottom. The piece has a brooch attachment, but also has a pair of small bails so it can be worn as a pendant. The brooch fitting, where the original French hallmarks would have been, has been replaced. Tested and guaranteed 18K gold. Origin: France, ca 1900 Condition: excellent, brooch fitting replaced, no enamel damage Dimensions: 1-7/16” x 2-3/16” (36 x 55 mm) Approximate Total Diamond Weight: 1.9 carats
Condition: Good
