Female Face Pendant (circa 1897–1898) designed by master French Art Nouveau jeweler René Lalique.

The history of the Female Face Pendant is deeply intertwined with the height of the Art Nouveau movement and a historic 50-year friendship between two men.

The Art Nouveau Revolution (1897–1898)During the late 1890s, René Lalique completely disrupted traditional French high jewelry. At the time, jewelry was mostly an ostentatious display of wealth dominated by heavy diamonds and rigid Victorian settings.Lalique rejected this, declaring that the artistic value of the design was more important than the market value of the gemstones. He shocked the industry by treating gold as a structural sculpture and mixing precious gems with "lowly," unconventional materials like carved ivory, glass, and horn. The Female Face Pendant was created in Paris at the exact peak of this experimental era (circa 1897–1898).

This style of necklace originated during the late 18th century (the late 1700s).

The design is a historic Guttapusalu (meaning "clusters of pearls" in Telugu). It emerged along the pearl-rich Coromandel Coast of Andhra Pradesh, India.

While the style has historic roots dating back to the late 1700s, the specific piece shown in the image is a contemporary reproduction. It combines the antique structure with modern gemstone setting techniques.
