A Piel Freres art nouveau necklace which was made around 1900. The metal is silver plated copper, the enamelling is lovely with a peacock eye inbetween the wings. I’ve tried to show the ribbon which are connected to a link on the wings. On the black ribbon are 3 beads on either side, the birds which I think are Ibis a sacred bird to the ancient Egyptians, both birds are perched on the same coloured stone.
Piel Freres were famous for their buckles and their theme was Egyptian revival.
A little about Piel Freres, PARIS jewellery firm ( at 31 Rue Mesley) which caused a sensation at the PARIS international Exhibition in 1900 with its fashionable but inexpensive art jewels. Piel Freres jewels were often gilt or enamelled, which they accomplished successfully on the difficult media of copper and silver.
There are no marks but attributed to Piel Freres.
Many thanks for looking

Many thanks, Newfld it is more lovely in real life. The workmanship is excellent.
Awww, thank you Broochman. Unfortunately with the nail salon now closed I’m back to natural nails.
Thank you Plein-air-painter, I’m a person who is very implosive, I saw this beautiful pendant, everything about it I love. Most importantly it isn’t precious stones, basic materials the workmanship is wonderful.
Many thanks Mrstyndall, I appreciate your comment and passing by.
Hi kivatinitz, I was wondering if you know more about Piel Freres, if so I would love to know more about them. Thank you most kindly for your comment.
Beautiful just divine ! Another superb piece for your wonderful collection.
Awww thank you Sue.
I've had a few versions of this ibis design. I love their little drumsticks. There's a comb pictured in The Paris Studios with them on it. Your's is the best piece I've seen though, Such a great size.
Thanks for your comment jewels1900, it is large and I’ve sworn it a couple of times they are definitely my colours, cool winter. Unfortunately with the lock time in the UK one walk a day and that’s it, so no where to show it.
Beautiful Colors :)
Awww, thank you Trey.
Many thanks

Many thanks shareurpassion, the colours are one of the reasons I bought it, they blend in so well together. The enamelling on this pendant is amazing and the peacock eye between the 2 Ibis birds just blows me away.
