Description
Created circa 1900, this Art Nouveau medal-jewel habillé is composed of 18K gold and diamonds, designed and engraved by the Comte d'Epinay de Briort. The medal-jewel bears an image of a young woman with upswept hair wearing rose-cut diamond earrings, necklace and aigrette, and a ruffled gown, suspended from a detachable 18K gold ropetwist chain. Sculptural and exquisite in detail, this small but substantial medal-jewel by a prominent French sculptor evokes the spirit of youth and beauty.
