Marcus & Co. Art Nouveau Enamel Orchid Pendant
Created circa 1906, likely as a collaboration of French and American workshops, and designed by George Marcus, this Marcus & Co. plique-Ă -jour enamel, diamond and conch pearl cattleya orchid pendant is mounted in platinum-topped 18K gold. The orchid of five rippled and curling leaves hangs from intertwined diamond tendrils, and suspends trailing natural conch pearl buds on articulated diamond stems. Highly three dimensional, the jewel exhibits the complexity, delicacy and fragility of a real blossom with its nuanced shades of coloration. This Art Nouveau tour-de-force of virtuoso technique and sensitive naturalism belongs to a small group of art works by Marcus that is unique in American and French artistic jewelry.
