Gold, multi-colored sapphire and enamel pendant, Carlo and Arthur Giuliano, 1895-1914

Designed as a floral and foliate cluster hung from flexible chains, set throughout with circular and cushion-shaped sapphires in pastel hues including blue, yellow, mauve and deep pink, the leaves realistically decorated with bright green translucent enamel, signed C.& A.G. 

Sotheby's London, October 9, 1986, lot 311.

According to Geoffrey Munn, a necklace composed of three motifs of very similar design to this pendant is owned by Her Majesty the Queen, illustrated in Castellani and Giuliano, Revivalist Jewellers of the 19th Century, pl. 170. These jewels belong to a series that were likely inspired by commisisons the firm received from Sir Edward Burne-Jones around 1895.
