Victorian 18ct Gold & Enamel Holbeinesque Pendant set with an Opal

861X
Written by Olly Gerrish

This pendant was made circa 1860-1870 in a period called the “Holbeinesque revival”.  Rings, pendants, brooches and earrings were made in the neo-Renaissance or Renaissance Revival style.  The designs differ from the older stylised and pious neo-Gothic jewellery, in that they are extravagantly opulent. This richness of form and colour which had appealed to the Tudor court was rediscovered by Victorian jewellers and their patrons, reviving a fashion that flourished into the early 1900s. Here you have the rich green blue colour of the large opal and the blue red green and white enamel motifs around it. The drop is a natural pearl and the bale has been adorned with further enamel.

A rare and beautiful jewel.
