Vintage Frascarolo Plique-a-Jour Pendant of 18k Gold

A captivating example of mid-20th-century Italian design, this playful yet elegant pendant was created by the celebrated Milanese jewelry house Frascarolo, renowned for its whimsical enamel work and exquisite craftsmanship.

The pendant features a chandelier-like cascade of translucent blue plique-à-jour enamel teardrops, each meticulously suspended within a framework of rich 18k gold. The result is a luminous, stained-glass effect that dances with light and movement — a hallmark of Frascarolo’s most sought-after creations.

Measuring approximately 2.2 inches high by 1.2 inches wide, the piece bears the maker’s mark “347AL”, attesting to its authenticity and distinguished provenance. It is accompanied by a 16-inch, 14k gold chain, offering versatility and ease of wear.

For added assurance of quality and authenticity, the gold has been professionally tested using X-ray fluorescence (XRF) analysis and traditional acid testing, confirming both the 18k pendant and the 14k chain.

This striking pendant is a timeless statement piece — a perfect fusion of artistry and elegance that embodies the bold creativity of Italian mid-century design and the enduring appeal of Frascarolo’s iconic enamel work.
