Pearl Collection

A vintage handmade yellow gold pendant with a floral design motif, complete with sculpted leaves and wire-like branches, inlaid with a warm reddish-orange oval cabochon coral and accented with round white pearls and one old European cut diamond weighing approximately .40 carat. The beautiful chain was handmade with alternating regular and knotted links. The chain may be removed and the pendant converts to a brooch for more ways to wear this piece.

This 14 karat yellow gold, plique-à-jour enameled, reproduction of an Art Nouveau styled woman's face with flower motifs and diamond accents is light and eye catching all at once. Plique-à-jour, (French for “open to light”), this technique creates translucent enamels held in an open framework made by soldering individual wires or delicate metal strips to each other, rather than to a supporting surface as in cloisonné style enamel with a backing. More like a stained glass window than an opaque piece of cloisonné. Hanging from the delicate enameled 'windows' is a natural pale pink seed pearl which offers a touch of movement while being worn.
