Product Description
Handmade sterling silver and lilac or lavender plique-a-jour hand enameled dragonfly pin or brooch (see below for description of plique-a-jour) The sheer translucence of the enamel gives an almost gossamer appearance. 48mm length. Simply stunning. Presentation boxed. 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 1900's such as the great Lalique, and is only used nowadays by a handful of artisans. The enamel is suspended in the cells and doesn't 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.
