This stunning Art Nouveau pendant by the pre-eminent Masriera y Carreras is made with a circular plaque of 18ct gold and depicts the Virgin Mary with her nimbus or halo set with rose-cut diamonds. Surrounding her image is a floral design in plique a jour enamel which gives the most ethereal stained glass window effect. The piece is signed Masriera Y Carreras to the reverse.
Such fine work is rare and this is a truly beautiful example.

Masriera y Carreras are world-renowned for their stunning Art Nouveau works in the early 20th Century, although Carreras in particular has a far longer history dating back to the 1700s. The firm came to become one of the most well-known jewellers of that period and certainly from Spain.
