Crafted in the Netherlands around the 1620s, this Melusine Pendant captures the allure of these legendary two-tailed river mermaids. The pendant depicts her holding a mirror, a signature feature of melusines' iconography. This absolutely exquisite piece of Renaissance jewelry is created from an irregular pearl encased in a golden frame and adorned with diamonds and sapphires.
