"Holbeinesque" jewelry was one of the early manifestations of the 1870s Renaissance revival style, characterized by a large oval gemstone mounted in gold and enameled with the ubiquitous quatrefoil motif. This magnificent pendant is a supreme example. The central oval garnet cabochon is surrounded by this quatrefoil design in red, green and blue champlevé enamel on 18kt gold interspersed with six square set chrysoberyl jewels. A beautifully enameled bale sits atop the pendant and an additional enamel fitting secures a diamond shaped drop of 4 square cut chrysoberyls accented with a trefoil design of three golden orbs.

The reverse is almost as stunning with its elaborately hand engraved scroll and floral design surrounding an oval glass hair locket compartment.

Fabulous for the holidays or going out to dinner, these have become my new favorite earrings. Black onyx contrasts so clearly with the white of the diamonds, which shimmer so beautifully; the dangle hoop adds such a flirty femininity and they are comfortable to boot. I fell for them the minute I saw them and you will too, once you put them on.
