Art Deco guilloché enamel, diamond and pearl pendant with a locket
Guilloché is a decorative technique in which a very precise and repetitive pattern is engraved into an underlying material such as gold or silver and then the enamel applied over the top. After the firing process is completed, it is polished back to a high lustre revealing the engraved pattern below the surface. The result is an incredible look that is breathtaking to admire such as can be seen in this fabulous Art Deco pendant.
Hand made in the 1920's in 18 carat yellow gold and platinum, the pendant measures 25mm across by 33mm to the top of the bail, with the design so captivating that will certainly be admired from near or far.
With a border of twenty four rose cut diamonds and four natural pearls, the way it draws the eye to the centre is just incredible. With the violet-blue g enamel still looking amazing even after 100 years have passed, there are a further seventeen rose cut diamonds and a final natural pearl sitting in the centre. Even the bail at the top is discreetly set with two more rose cut diamonds with all the diamonds having a total weight of 0.20 carats.
And then not only is this just a magnificent pendant, but on the reverse side is a locket compartment for a photo of a loved one to make this even more personal and special.
This is truly such an elegant piece of jewellery and one that is destined to become a treasured family heirloom.

Antique three colour gold guilloché enamel and emerald box
This antique box is nothing short of spectacular and is still in superb condition even after 170 years have passed since being made.
Made in France in the 1850's, this exquisite box was made in 18 carat gold in three different colours. Today there is yellow and rose gold (as well as white), however years ago there was also green gold, that combined with the yellow and rose gold in this box, is also used. Both the rose and the green gold are very subtle and the rose gold can be seen on the wreath design, with the green gold being used for the petal designs that are found around the sides as well as the top of the box.
Then all of this is highlighted by the spectacular red guilloché enamel that is seen. Guilloché enamel is one of the most popular of all the enamel techniques and is produced by engraving a very precise and repetitive pattern that then has the enamel applied over the top and after the firing process is complete, it is polished back to a high lustre revealing the engraved pattern below the surface. The result as can be seen in this box is incredible and along with such a smooth, tactile feel to it, makes this one of the finest gold boxes that one will ever see.
Measuring 32.7mm across by 21.4mm deep by 17mm high, on the top of the box is set with a natural emerald that completes the box so well.
This is a true masterpiece, and from every angle the detail in this box is truly exceptional and there is no doubt that this was made by someone who was incredibly skilled.
