Designer House Silver Chain with Fire Enamel Egg & Garnet Bow Pendant — 1980s

Fire enamel work like this takes real skill — the color is fused to the metal at high heat rather than painted on, giving it a depth and durability that cheaper enamel can't match. A ribbon bow set with deep red garnet stones catches the light across the top of this teardrop pendant, finished below in fire enamel over sterling silver. It hangs from a designer house long silver-plated chain. The chain is designer house dead-stock — an unworn item stored for decades, sourced from a warehouse untouched since the '80s that supplied the likes of Liberty, Harrods, and Selfridges.
