A Superb Art Nouveau Enameled Gold Pendant

Russian, made between 1908 and 1917

A wavy floral Art Nouveau style green and rose gold pendant features a chased gold bird caching a diamond.

The ground of the medallion is engine turned with sun rays radiating from the diamond held by the bird,

and it is covered with a fine quality silverish pale blue guilloche enamel suggesting a sky.

The stylized floral ornaments in the lower part are highlighted by a pair of diamonds.

The original enamel is in excellent condition.

Estimated total diamond weight – 0.60 ct.

Height without suspension rings – 31 mm (1 1/4 in.)

sold without chain

The pendant is unmarked but almost certainly a work of the 3rd Jewelry Artel in Moscow, active between 1908 and 1917.

Below, is a pair of guilloche enamel Art Nouveau cufflinks with the 3rd Artel hallmarks sold from this website in the past.

The design, materials and quality are very similar.
