Featured New pendant

Looks great, Dessert. I also like the warm garnet tones as a contrast with the cooler tones of the plique-á-jour.
Maybe for now you can bend the side loop against the pendant so you won't notice it as much?

 

there's the look !!!
the piece lives again !!!!

 

Very nice change, @Dessert58 . It looks great!

 

And there is another piece on its way now ...oh no, it seems like I got a heavy plique a jour-infection

 

Yay!

That is one of those infections that turns chronic very easily. And there is no cure, it is simply too beautiful.

 

I ll make sure to show it here if it arrives safely.
I m really lost now: 3 is a collection and I seem to need at least three of every jewelry piece I find
Maybe its because, once you find 1, your eye/mind gets trained to more easily find more of the same.

 

True.
But jewellery also seems to 'need' company.

 

Plique a jour especially seems to need friends. You're a goner now!

 

Ok, my 'new' brooch finally arrived. I bought a lot of brooches just for this one:

 

Gorgeous, Dessert.
What is the mark? It is a bit blurry, could be my eyes.

It is worth it.

 

It is blurry for my eyes too
I think I see a butterfly

 

Nice jugendstil piece!
I think the mark is the French weevil (charançon) for imported items

 

Arts and crafts design for sure, or Jungendstil? If that's an import mark, could it be German?

 

Definitely Jugendstil.

German imo. It resembles some Secession pieces, but it is more like German Jugendstil. Besides, Secession pieces are more likely to have Austrian assay marks.

 

AJ, kyratango,evelyb30, thanks for your remarks
Indeed, the mark could be that weird french Weevil
Personally, I would have guessed it could be German or maybe Belgian...we Belgians also have a very impressive Art Nouveau history.
Although maybe Germany indeed makes a bit more sense for this one.

 

Yes you do! I still want to live in the Horta house.

Yes, the more stark strong lines look German. A great design.
