Story
Signed Tinelli, this Italian Zodiac pendant embodies the spirit of the watery world of Pisces.
In 18k yellow gold, two opposing fish cavort and swim in a "sea" of plique a jour enamel. Long known as one the most difficult of the enamel techniques, plique a jour is the one you know that is likened to stained glass. For held up to a light source, you can see through it.
Here ocean aqua shades, ultramarine, and pale blue hues transition seamlessly from one to the other. Each fish has a ruby eye and there are five petite diamonds set within the gold waves.
The original, decorative bale also has a tiny diamond. Handcrafted, with exceptional quality, while these are still made, they are difficult to obtain and are only produced in limited quantities. You will find this one well priced!
Note: The designer is Luciano Tinelli of Valenza Italy who began his career in 1966.
