Hydrangea enamel necklace (purple)

This necklace features hydrangea flowers. The soft sepals are coloured with baked blue matt enamel (glass glaze). A 2mm aquamarine is clasped in the centre to represent the flower at the moment it is about to open. The surface of the sepals is basse-tille enameled and the fine engraved texture on the surface can be seen through the enamel. The back side, where the necklace goes through, is shaped like a hydrangea leaf, a little point of interest that only the owner can enjoy. About Basse-tille Enamel Basse-tille enamel is a technique in which a fine engraving pattern is applied to the base metal, and the pattern is carefully covered with a transparent glaze and fired so that the pattern rises to the surface. The surface of the base metal, which is designed and shaped, is then covered with a variety of glazes and fired in a kiln at approximately 800°C. After the glaze is applied, the surface is polished to enhance the color effect. The transparency of the enamel in combination with the advanced engraving technique produces a unique beauty that cannot be found anywhere else.
