Art Nouveau plique-Ã -jour pendant by Gaston Laffitte
Jewellery from the Art Noveau period of the late 1800's to the early 1900's was often so feminine and full of character and here is a spectacular Art Nouveau plique-Ã -jour enamel pendant by Gaston Laffitte.
Gaston Laffitte was an incredible jeweller who specialised in plique-Ã -jour enamel work as can be seen in the blue "petals" of the flowers and is considered the hardest and most sought after of all the enamelling techniques. His work is right up there with Rene Lalique making this such a wonderful piece of history to love and to wear.
Plique-Ã -jour is French for "Letting in day light" and unlike all other enamel techniques has no backing to it making it incredibly difficult to produce and not crack during the firing process.
There are four flowers of plique-Ã -jour enamel, each set with a natural pearl and in the centre are two love birds perched on a branch and the French sentences, "Le Plus Doux Des Bonheurs" which translates to "The sweetest pleasures" and "Etre Aime Quand On Aime" which translates to "Be loved when you love".
Made in 18ct yellow gold, from left to right the pendant measures 34.5mm across by 40.6mm from the bottom to the top of the bail.
Art Nouveau jewellery is so special, and this plique-Ã -jour pendant by Gaston Laffitte is just so romantic and divine.

Arts and crafts era amethyst and natural pearl negligee necklace.
The Arts & Crafts movement coincided at the same time as the Art Nouveau era of the late 1800's until the early 1900's and here we have a very charming late 19th century Arts & Crafts era negligee pendant.
A negligee pendant is one that has two parts suspended at the bottom of different lengths as can be seen here, and in this one it is set with amethysts and natural pearls.
It could be equally argued that this is an Art Nouveau piece as both eras not only occurred during the same time, but also had a very naturalistic feel to both, however most Art Nouveau jewellery when set with gemstones would often use either facetted or cabochon cut stones, whereas here there are four pieces of amethyst has just been polished and one cabochon cut amethyst in the centre.
The pearls themselves are also exciting as they are all natural pearls as opposed to cultured pearls and then there is the divine wire work around the polished amethysts.
Made in 9ct rose gold, laid out it measures 43cm from end to end and 6.7cm from the centre cabochon cut amethyst to the bottom of the lower amethyst.
With such a unique look to it, this is such a character filled negligee necklace.
