Art Nouveau Gordle Vale and Co. Sterling Silver and Enamel Necklace

The Art Nouveau necklace is crafted in sterling silver and features a central shield (circa 34.0mm x 31.4mm) with decorative embossed detail, and which has been finished on both sides in hand-painted blue and green enamel. There is a smaller enamelled panel (circa 13.3mm x 25.9mm each) to either side of this central shield. All three panels are mounted on the front with a tube-set, soft-grey, mother-of-pearl, and are connected to each with short sections of belcher-link chain. The chain then extends from the outer panels to form a necklace with bolt-ring clasp. The rear of the large shield is hallmarked, visible through the enamelwork, for Birmingham 1909, maker "GV & Co" (Gordle Vale and Co).
