Qty:
Formed of molded yellow-gold glass, 18K gold, enamel and diamonds, this “Libellules et Fougères” necklace by René Lalique dates from 1902-1904. It is composed of ten molded glass links designed as stylized dragonflies with subtle internal striations of color, diamond eyes and antennae, and wings of fern leaf motifs, joined by 18K gold and enamel stems. Among his few surviving large-form experiments in molded glass, this unusual and imaginative jewel represents the artist’s pioneering early work in inspired naturalism.
