Created by Ren Lalique in 1903-1904, this four dragonfly pendant necklace is composed of plique--jour and basse taille enamel, aquamarine, diamonds and 18K gold. It is designed as two pairs of opposed dragonflies with plique--jour enamel wings highlighted by diamonds and opalescent blue basse taille enamel bodies, flanking a cushion-shape aquamarine, with a flexibly-set pear-shape aquamarine pendant, and suspended from a conforming blue-green enamel baton link chain. A serene and harmonious expression of Lalique's passion for the dragonfly, this rare jewel is a feat of the artist's skill as a sculptor in miniature and as an enamelist - its figural and chromatic composition deeply engages the eye and mind.
