“Plique-à-Jour” is a French term that means “braid letting in daylight”. The term refers to the technique in which enamel is applied in cells, similar to cloisonné, but with no backing. This allows light to shine through the transparent or translucent enamel and form a beautiful stained glass like appearance.
A fabulous and very unusual plique-à-jour pendant from the Art Nouveau (ca1900) era! This wonderful piece is made of 900-grade sterling silver and depicts a lovely plique-à-jour floral design. The pendant is accented with five bezel-set old mine cut diamonds set in the centers of pink flowers, estimated to weigh a cumulative 1.05ctw.
