The original pendant, German or South Netherlandish, ca. 1600, is in the Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna. Its body is formed from a natural Baroque pearl, mounted in chased and gilded gold with expressive modeling of the mane and limbs. In Renaissance symbolism, the lion represented courage, majesty, and divine protection, while the luminous pearl embodied purity and perfection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"702\" data-end=\"1239\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*This is a proof print because the size is a little smaller at 7.5\" by 9.5\".*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003carticle class=\"text-token-text-primary w-full focus:outline-none [--shadow-height:45px] has-data-writing-block:pointer-events-none has-data-writing-block:-mt-(--shadow-height) has-data-writing-block:pt-(--shadow-height) [\u0026amp;:has([data-writing-block])\u0026gt;*]:pointer-events-auto scroll-mt-[calc(var(--header-height)+min(200px,max(70px,20svh)))]\" dir=\"auto\" data-turn-id=\"10ac6307-64c4-42ac-a9cd-637cd7e3046b\" data-testid=\"conversation-turn-10\" data-scroll-anchor=\"true\" data-turn=\"assistant\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"text-base my-auto mx-auto pb-10 [--thread-content-margin:--spacing(4)] thread-sm:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(6)] thread-lg:[--thread-content-margin:--spacing(16)] px-(--thread-content-margin)\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"[--thread-content-max-width:40rem] thread-lg:[--thread-content-max-width:48rem] mx-auto max-w-(--thread-content-max-width) flex-1 group\/turn-messages focus-visible:outline-hidden relative flex w-full min-w-0 flex-col agent-turn\" tabindex=\"-1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex max-w-full flex-col grow\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-message-author-role=\"assistant\" data-message-id=\"9b1e21d3-b7d3-4635-8a10-f607af65f1ce\" dir=\"auto\" class=\"min-h-8 text-message relative flex w-full flex-col items-end gap-2 text-start break-words whitespace-normal [.text-message+\u0026amp;]:mt-1\" data-message-model-slug=\"gpt-5-thinking\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-1 empty:hidden first:pt-[1px]\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"markdown prose dark:prose-invert w-full break-words light markdown-new-styling\"\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"721\"\u003eTHE HISTORY: Baroque pearl jewels flourished c.1550–1700, when irregular (“baroque”) pearls were prized as ready-made sculptures. Goldsmiths in Venice, Augsburg, Paris, and at the Habsburg and Medici courts set these fantastically shaped pearls in enameled gold, transforming them into mermaids and sea monsters, birds, saints, and other “habillé” figures dressed with enamel, rubies, and diamonds. Worn as pendants, bodice jewels, hat badges, and aigrettes, they broadcast maritime wealth, courtly whimsy, and the Kunstkammer love of marvels. Although they fell out of fashion in the 18th century, ateliers in the 19th-century revived the fanciful forms during the Renaissance Revival. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/article\u003e","brand":"Susannah Carson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46992326787247,"sku":"PR-PEARL-W-1-PROOF","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0598\/4311\/7231\/files\/PR-PEARL-W-1-THUMBNAIL-4x5-5.jpg?v=1764393760","url":"https:\/\/susannahcarson.com\/products\/no-1-proof-print-baroque-pearl-jewelry-watercolor-archival-print-lion-copy","provider":"Susannah Carson","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
