The term Guilloche refers to a decorative technique in which a concentric design is engraved on metal using a lathe, creating an elaborate pattern. A clear translucent enamel is applied over the top, enhancing and smoothing the surface. This method was made popular by none other than Carl Faberge, a master of this beautiful, mesmerizing style.
Crafted in 18 karat yellow gold, the top of this eye-catching heart shaped conversion ring has beaautifully executed enamel work. Deep red guilloche enamel is framed by an outline of white and gold enamel, just like a valentine trimmed in lace! The center has a configuration of pearls shaped into a flower. We have married the original brooch with an antique replica shank in 14 karat yellow gold. Romantic, darling and gorgeous, it's a little keepsake you'll treasure in your collection!
