Plique a jour Pendant. This was my first go at plique. Basically you fill an opening with enamel (transparent in this case) get it really hot, and you get a little window. This little piece was scrap silver left over from something. I was still learning how to use the GIMP software, so I made this sketch:
I used that to transfer the design to the silver and cut out the shape, and then threw in the enamel:
I even made a custom catch. That is how you can tell a hand made object, the attention to detail and the craftsmanship. It should look like someone cared.....
