Emaux Bressans French Southeast Large Enamel Pendant

Emaux Bressans, originating from the southeastern region of France, are distinctive creations typically crafted with a base of 925 sterling silver or non-precious metals, adorned with gold foil patterns on enamel. This delicate and intricate style of enamel jewelry has garnered a devoted following at Shang Cheng. This decorative technique, invented in the late 14th century possibly to embellish papal swords, saw widespread use in jewelry from the mid-19th to early 20th centuries, becoming highly fashionable. Regional French jewelry pieces are always a worthwhile collection, as they are relatively rare and retain their original local characteristics, making their origin instantly recognizable. They also represent a fascinating area of study within the history of French jewelry. The base of today's enamel ring features a unique, saturated red and purple hue, intricately detailed with fine, closely-spaced circular engravings. Adorned with blue and white enamel beads, this enhances the piece's dimensionality. The enamel is in excellent condition, free from flaws. The rare color combination of red and purple, along with its larger size, makes this a multi-layered pendant, highly recommended for collectors.
