Lovely c. late 1960s pendant necklace featuring a lion over opposing spade plaques suspended by a very detailed link chain. The flower links of the chain are also incorporated in the pendant creating this tri-level pendant. Each side of the link chain (including clasp) measures 14″. Truly a remarkable piece! Share your favorite large pendant necklace!

In addition to the translucent enamels Napier produced in the late 1960s, the company created a series of plique-à-jour designs. We don’t see many of these on the secondary market. Perhaps because of the delicate nature of the construction and design. This lovely bracelet has a stained window effect. The green enamel creates a floral design, while the center red enamel ties the inner structure with the shape of the individual plaques of pierced metalwork. #napierjewelryhistory #napierjewelry #thenapierbook #thejewelrystylist
