1880s French Enamel Ribbon Brooch Pendant

This is an exquisite French brooch from the 1880s, crafted from 18k gold and adorned with red enamel. The star motif at its center is accented with a pearl. The brooch boasts a unique and charming design, featuring intertwined ribbons forming the main body of the piece. Its three-dimensional, raised structure creates a sense of lightness and airiness, with a half-sphere detail dangling below. A delicate star pattern at the center is embellished with a single pearl and tiny colorless gemstones. The metal surfaces of both the ribbons and the faceted sphere showcase regular, rippled textures, further enhanced by a rich red enamel finish. This layering of textures and colors creates a visually dynamic piece, with the vibrant red and warm gold tones exuding a joyful, festive aura. The brooch's three-dimensional ribbon structure allows for a chain to be threaded through, enabling it to be worn as a pendant. The enamel on the ribbon sections shows noticeable wear and color loss; other areas exhibit normal oxidation and signs of wear consistent with an antique item of its age.
