I have this piece of vintage jewelry up on ebay. I did not find anything like it when I put it up for sale. The chain is marked Korea but the flower itself has no marks that I can see. It is made of a golden toned metal and the bee is golden toned. I don't even recognize the flower. The reason I am asking for help is because no one is really looking at it. I figured if I could put more information on it people would start looking at it. It is from my Mother's estate jewelry so I have no idea where she got it. Maybe someone will recognize the design. I don't even know if this pendant was originally with this chain. It was the only pendant without a chain and this chain was single also.

I don't think the chain is original to the pendant.

Is the pendant goldtone and the chain silvertone?
The photographs are not close enough to be able to see the detail on the pendant well.

Gorgeous enamel work! Probably on brass. If it was gold, they wouldnt cover all teh gold but leave it exposed and most likely a central part of the artwork meant to be seen. I have seen these made by a student in my silver work class and it is amazing how they are made and fired. Lucky find! And yeah an orchid.

I tried taking a close up of the pendant for those that asked. This is the best I could do. Picks up light from every angle. Center is all gold tone. Hope this helps.

Is the dark red and the white enameling?

Hi, The red would be enameling and I believe the white is painted over the red enameling.
