FAQs

Guilloche enamel jewellery features decorative patterns carved into metal using a rose engine lathe, covered by a coat of translucent vitreous enamel. This technique gained wide popularity in early 20th-century Art Deco design, creating iridescent optical effects.

Antique enamel brooches usually consist of a sterling silver or gold base substrate combined with ground glass powder melted at high temperatures to form a durable enamel glaze.

Authentic pieces display makers marks, metal purities, precise geometric engine turning beneath the enamel layer, and age-appropriate rollover or C-clasp fastenings.

An enamel brooch can be pinned to the lapel of a tailored jacket, attached to a silk scarf, or used to decorate a hatband or fabric handbag.

Store enamel jewellery separately to prevent scratching, avoid immersion in chemical dipping liquids, and clean gently with a soft microfibre cloth.
