A super-rare vintage French pendant crafted in 18ct gold, featuring exquisite plique-à-jour enamel colour window panels. Reminiscent of Cartier's iconic 1950s medallions, this exceptional piece was possibly made by one of Cartier's renowned house manufacturers; the attention to detail and craftsmanship are remarkably similar.
The plique-à-jour enamel is in pristine condition. As light passes through the coloured panels, vibrant rays of colour dance and beam across, creating the effect of your own miniature kaleidoscope or stained-glass window. It is utterly mesmerising.
Inspired by the magnificent stained-glass windows of Notre-Dame, this pendant is a true work of art and a fabulous example of French jewellery craftsmanship. In my opinion, pieces like this are simply unbeatable.
The pendant comes complete with a vintage 18ct gold cable chain measuring 22”, making it ready to wear but also looks fabulous paired with a chunky chain. I absolutely adore the rich palette of colours, and the generous scale of this medallion ensures it was made to be seen and admired.
Equally stunning worn alone as a statement piece or layered with longer chains, this is a fabulous unique piece.
