A gorgeous antique Art Nouveau lavaliere necklace made by Heinrich Levinger in the late 19th Century. The focal point is a colourful butterfly pendant decorated with glowing green Plique-à-jour wings, three blister pearl droppers and three natural cabochon opals making up the head and eyes.
Heinrich Levinger was established in Pforzheim, Germany in the late 19th Century and renowned for their fabulous Plique-à-jour pieces. Plique-à-jour is French for "letting in daylight" and is a technique in which enamel is applied with no backing, allowing the light to shine through the translucent layer and create a wonderful stained glass window effect.
The pendant is fashioned in silver gilt and suspended from a long silver paperclip chain. It’s a striking design and highly collectable.
