About this work
Van den Eersten & Hofmeijer devised variations modelled on French jewellery. The form and decoration of this pendant, for instance, is in keeping with the Art Deco style, which combined exotic and modern elements. The gold setting has Chinese-like ornamentation. The stone is geometric in form. The colour of the rose gold complements the glowing amber.
