Plique-a-jour enameling
Plique-a-jour is a French term meaning glimpse of day and is such a good description of the plique-a-jour method of enameling which allows you to see through the enamel. This technique was used by jewelers in the 1900s such as the great Lalique, and is only used nowadays by a handful of artisans. The enamel is suspended in the cells and doesnt back onto anything so it is almost like a stained glass window and because it is not backed by anything, the light reflects straight though letting you see the purity of the enamel. A true work of art.
