About the Item

INDULGE IN A MUSEUM QUALITY FRENCH BEAUX ARTS RENAISSANCE REVIVAL 18 KARAT GOLD PENDANT NECKLACE OF A GRIFFIN, CHIMERA OR DRAGON HOLDING A STUNNING ROSE CUT DIAMOND IN THE MOUTH WITH DIAMOND SET WINGS AND A RUBY EYE. This is a beautiful Beaux Arts - Art Nouveau - Belle Epoque pendant necklace in the Renaissance Revival style and dates to circa 1860-1900. The pendant depicts a wonderful griffin or dragon with magnificent diamonds and ruby in a stunning three dimensional deep repousse design in gorgeous 18 Karat Yellow and White Gold. The Griffin holds a Rose Cut Diamond in its mouth of 4mm in diameter. The exquisite wings are set with eight additional rose cut diamonds. The eye is a gorgeous fine red ruby cabochon cut gem. The jewel is French. The face of the griffin dragon is extraordinary with magnificent gold work. The wings are absolutely gorgeous with finely detailed feathers. The curving tail is stunning. The flying moving form of the dragon is truly extraordinary. The gold workmanship on the dragon is very fine with superb detail. I love the three dimensional element of the jewel. The overall effect of the exquisite gold work, the griffin dragon motif, the rose cut diamonds and fine red ruby in this early antique piece is truly magical. The griffin is a treasure to be worn and enjoyed and to be passed on for generations. DIAMONDS The pendant is 18 Karat gold. The wing diamonds are set in white gold, the remainder of the griffin is yellow gold. The pendant is 1 1/4 inches (35mm) tall and is 1 7/8 inches (47mm) wide. The large diamond is 4mm in diameter. The eye is a natural mined ruby cabochon. The pendant weighs 5.7 grams. The listing is only for the pendant. The chain is only shown for display.
