Henry Miller called her the most truthful writer he had ever read. Of all the women in this collection, she had the richest interior world — and the pendant at the heart of this piece contains one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFound at an antique shop in Stillwater, Minnesota — a vintage cloisonné medallion, round and domed, worked en ronde bosse on a guilloché ground: that fine, luminous dotwork beneath the cobalt blue enamel that makes the background breathe rather than sit flat. Its surface is alive with irises in dusty rose and burgundy, a butterfly caught mid-flight above them, gold-outlined and weightless — polychrome enamel in the full Art Nouveau vocabulary. Finished identically on both sides, a mark of exceptional and genuine craft. One side bears a small area of enamel wear consistent with age — visible only on close inspection, and proof, if any were needed, of its authenticity and the quality of craft that has kept it otherwise intact. A gold tassel chain falls from its base.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo large honey orange agate slabs flank the pendant like open pages. Two royal blue Czech glass faceted rounds anchor the composition at the clavicle — orange and cobalt blue, complementary colors, the pairing Mucha returned to again and again for its electric, almost living tension. The whole piece is held together by a delicate 18k gold-plated sterling silver chain that disappears into the background and lets the stones speak.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.\" — Anaïs Nin\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage cloisonné pendant, en ronde bosse on guilloché ground — cobalt blue with polychrome iris, butterfly, and leaf motif in enamel (antique shop find, Stillwater MN) · Gold tassel chain drop · Honey orange agate slabs · Royal blue Czech glass faceted rounds · 18k gold-plated sterling silver chain and findings\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"BohoHaus Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43892527431767,"sku":null,"price":135.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0642\/0017\/9799\/files\/tempImagenKMTLu.jpg?v=1779585565","url":"https:\/\/bohohausjewelry.org\/products\/anais-vintage-cloisonne-honey-agate-necklace","provider":"BohoHaus Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
