Description
This unusual Belle Époque pendant, believed to be from France, c.1900, combines wit and beauty with skilled craftsmanship.
A large side faceted velvety amethyst hangs below a life size fly created from warm 18ct gold, as if it’s just landed for a moment on the 18 carat amethyst.
The fly, a symbol of fleeting beauty and mischief, is lifelike, and its gold legs, wings, and body are formed in expert detail.
At just 2.5cm tall, it’s very wearable, and chic.
