Renaissance Magnifier Pendant

Bold gold-tone magnifier pendant set with multicoloured crystals, echoing the ornate surround of a mid-16th-century French pendant now held in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. Renaissance jewellery was celebrated for its intricate metalwork, vibrant gemstones, and symbolic motifs. Magnifiers were prized by scholars and collectors for their utility and beauty, often worn as pendants or chatelaines.
