Plique-à-jour (French for "letting in daylight")


Plique a jour is a vitreous enamelling technique where the enamel is applied in cells, similar to cloisonné, but with no backing in the final product, so light can shine through the transparent or translucent enamel.


It is in effect a miniature version of stained glass effect and is considered very challenging technically.


Paste is a heavy, very transparent flint glass that stimulates the fire and brilliance of gemstones because it has relatively high indices of refraction and strong dispersion, the Romans in particular were very skilful in the production of coloured glass pastes.


Complete with original barrel clasp.


Steeped in English history.


The necklace is deal for a wedding, it looks beautiful when worn.
