Created circa 1905-1906, this Ren Lalique pendant brooch is composed of amethyst, molded glass, enamel and 18K gold. The three sided open form centers an octagonal fancy-cut amethyst, framed by meandering opaque and translucent champlev enamel poppy stems and leaves with molded crystal glass white poppy blossoms and blue enamel accents. A study of the delicate shapes of a single species, juxtaposed with a specimen amethyst, this unusual Lalique pendant brooch contrasts the delicacy of organic life with the striking geometry of gem crystals.
