Description
ATTILIO CODOGNATO A magnificent and exceptional necklace and photo pendant in 18-carat yellow gold (750). One side is adorned with a high-relief bust of a goddess, wearing a crown set with diamonds and featuring, in her hair, a brooch set with an emerald. She wears a necklace enhanced by an oval cabochon sapphire. The ensemble stands out against a blue enamelled chequered background, highlighted by two square rubies. The reverse features a design of four finely chiselled and polychrome-enamelled chimeras, alternating with four square rubies. In the centre, a bezel-set medallion containing a yellow sapphire opens onto a bouquet of sculpted and enamelled roses. The reverse of the medallion is signed A. Codognato. The pendant opens fully via a hinge to reveal two plain oval plates in 18k white gold (750 fineness), allowing for personalised engraving or the insertion of a photograph. The rim is adorned with a black-enamelled foliage motif, set with four Antwerp-cut rose diamonds, one cushion-cut antique diamond, two oval rubies and four emeralds. The bail is set with two diamonds, one an Antwerp-cut rose-cut diamond in a diamond shape, the other a pear-shaped rose-cut diamond. The pendant is accompanied by its necklace with twisted oval links, fitted with a ratchet clasp with a safety catch. Dimensions of the pendant: 7.8 × 4.5 × 4 cm Length of the necklace: 91 cm Total gross weight: 185.5 g Note: Attilio Codognato (1938–2024), heir to the famous Venetian house founded in 1866, is regarded as one of the most important jewellery artists of the 20th century. His creations, each a unique piece, captivated major collectors and personalities such as Coco Chanel, Elizabeth Taylor, the Duchess of Windsor, Jean Cocteau, Andy Warhol, Cy Twombly and Lucio Fontana.
