Gold pendant with enamels and miniature - Italy 18th century

Splendid late 18th-century pendant featuring a lozenge-shaped structure crafted in finely chased gold and enriched with blue enamel decorated with some delicate floral motifs. At the center, set within an oval enamelled frame, is a hand-painted miniature portraying a lady of the European elite, depicted with an elaborate hairstyle, lace-adorned garments, and a pale complexion achieved with powder, the stylistic traits typical of the reign of Louis XVI. Beneath the gold grid lies a lock of braided hair, placing this jewel within the tradition of souvenirs de fidélité or commemorative jewels, created to celebrate an emotional bond or as a posthumous remembrance, both highly fashionable at the time. Rare example of 18th-century jewellery, preserved in perfect condition.

Ho acquistato, online, due gioielli. Lo Staff di Passione Antiqua è disponibile, gentile e professionale. Spedizione coerente con i tempi del corriere. I due gioielli sono meravigliosi, molto più che le foto dal loro sito. Per quanto mi riguarda, un'esperienza molto positiva.

Gentile Vittorio, la ringraziamo di cuore per le splendide parole e per aver condiviso la sua esperienza con noi. Sapere che i gioielli hanno superato le aspettative e che il nostro servizio è stato all’altezza è per noi motivo di grande soddisfazione. Saremo lieti di accoglierla nuovamente, online o in negozio, per continuare a condividere la passione per i gioielli antichi. Un cordiale saluto, Il Team di Passione Antiqua
