EUROPE, late 18th or early 19th century Large pendant in gold-plated silver (min. 800) with openwork decoration featuring knotted ribbons and faceted pearl necklaces, centered on an emerald root cabochon surrounded by four white pearl blisters in a closed setting, holding a polished piece of emerald root and two baroque white pearls hanging as pendants. Later modified into a brooch with the addition of a gold-plated metal pin. Exempt from hallmarking as the piece predates 1838 (Art. 524bis of the CGI, paragraph a). Gross weight: 25.5 g. - 7 x 4.6 cm. The safety of the pin needs to be checked; flaws in the mother-of-pearl and emeralds, some damage and missing sections. Scratches and some damage.
