I came across this pendant recently, I personally think it is Amy Sandheim, I've put a photo of another necklace which I know is Amy Sandheim, them ginkgo leaves are very similar. As you can see the colour scheme of the stones are amazing, them moonstones have fantastic hue, I don’t think they show up on the photo’s. The whole necklace has been handmade and the silver work is lovely.
I would love to know your thoughts.
Many thanks for looking.
That’s a fantastic necklace Jean. Lots of great work, and that central lapis lazuli is so rich in colour.
Stunning !!
Hi Jean, lovely piece and good size, based on the similar ginkgo leaves and flat back I would say definitely Amy, great score!
Agree, looks very much a match, love these huge statement pieces, great colors.
Even Better !!!
Hi Karen, thanks for your comment. I was blown away when I received this necklace, the details definitely has the wow factor.
Thank you Mankin.
Hi Mary, thanks for your comment. The necklace was made probably around 1920-30s. Amy was working around the time of Sybil Dunlop and Dorrie Nossiter with these three giants their work was misattributed, especially between Sybil Dunlop and Dorrie Nossiter. Personally I would get mixed up between Sybil and Amy.
I hope that helps a little.
Hi Paul, yes it’s a whopper a great size. I saw it on the American ebay, I had to put a bid in, has you know these type of necklaces are very rare and far between. The seller was selling has the work of Sybil Dunlop, as I said above their are many a misattribution between these Sybil, Dorrie and Amy. It’s lovely to hear from you.
Hi katherinescollections, thanks for your help I also think the ginkgo leaves are a match. The stones are a perfect and with the silver work in my opinion it’s a work of art.
Many thanks Kevin.
Hi Jean, I saw this and thought it was a lovely, lovely thing. I couldn't manage it at the time, but no doubt it was because I was buying something else lovely. But I did make a little song & dance about it to my hubby. Certainly Saindheim - I love these big flat pendants of hers and I've never seen one with the lily pad design. I've bought a few pieces of Saindheim this year, there was a time when I thought I'd been priced out of the market but things are still showing up here & there. I think that's really good buying. Keep well.
Hi Jewels1900, yes I’m really please with this pendant, I just love everything about it. Thanks for verifying it is Amy, I’m always on the look out for anything art and crafts they are scares but there are pieces out there.
Many thanks
