IVORY DELICATE AS LACE (Edwardian Ivory Jewelry Pendant ): Hand
carved from Ivory, this lacy, almost cut-work appearing pendant, has the
light, delicate appearance that is characteristic of the Edwardian
style. (c. 1900-1910) The curves indicate elements of Art Nouveau, a
strong influence in turn-of-the-century “art” jewelry. The ornate
design motif features an elegant swan gliding on swirls of water under a
canopy of vines and leaves. The pendant and bale are ivory and the
accompanying chain (with spring ring) appears to be bone. Truly a piece
that is both feminine and refined. Condition: Excellent. There may be a
small section of ivory missing just above the swan’s back or it may
have been made that way since it accents the swan. Size: 3” long (bale
and pendant, excluding ring), 1 1/2” wide. Chain is 20” in length.
