This particular jewel has neither a pin nor loop fastening. It would simply have been stitched to the fabric of the gown. \r\n\r\nThe swirling botanical design is characteristic of the cosse de pois (pea pod) style. This originated in France, where ornamental designs were published featuring highly stylised arrangements of leaves, stems and buds. Balthasar Lemercier and Jacques Caillart of Paris and Peter Symony of Strasbourg made designs for goldsmiths' work in this style. The style’s popularity peaked in the 1620s and 1630s. However the taste for botanical motifs continued to evolve through the century.","physicalDescription":"An imposing ornament of diamonds set in enamelled gold openwork, with five pendants hanging from the lower edge. The design is of botanical inspiration with curling foliage around a central rosette. It is constructed in three stages: the back plate enamelled in black; a front plate set with diamonds and enamelled in white and black; and the central diamond-set rosette.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"gold","id":"AAT11021"},{"text":"diamond","id":"AAT11084"},{"text":"enamel","id":"AAT14910"}],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Enamelled gold, set with 208 table-cut and triangular point-cut diamonds","categories":[{"text":"ELISE","id":"THES48961"},{"text":"Jewellery","id":"THES48930"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"MET","id":"THES48599"},"images":["2007BM1110","2007BM1111","2006AN7389"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"91","id":"THES49703"},"free":"","case":"52","shelf":"C","box":"1"}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Breast ornament","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"France","id":"x28849"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":"possibly"}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1620-1630","earliest":"1615-01-01","latest":"1630-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Dame Joan Evans","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"12.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"including pendants","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"7.4","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Depth","value":"3.0","unit":"cm","qualifier":"Approximate","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"Rubens' portrait of his second wife Hélène Fourment (Alte Pinakothek, Munich) shows her wearing a similar ornament.","briefDescription":"Breast ornament, enamelled gold set with diamonds, probably France, about 1620-30.","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"","id":""},"details":"","free":"Somers-Cocks, Anna, <u>Princely Magnificence: court jewels of the Renaissance, 1500-1630</u>.
