Pendant with diamonds

Broché. Two-foiled shape, wider on the bottom than on the top. Cast backboard with rich black and white champlevé enamel decoration and small mounted diamonds attached with small tubes. The composition of the pendant shows affinity with the works of Daniel Mignot (at work: 1593-1616), Huguenot designer working in Augsburg. A few researchers believe, due to the protruding, angular shape of the mountings, that the jewel was modified already at the beginning of the 17th century.
