Enameled Jewelry

TYPES of ENAMEL
GUILLOCHE enamel is
done by engraving a repeating decorative design on the metal, called
"engine turning". Over that a glass enamel is heated and polished to
form the final product.
CHAMPLEVE enamel is
done by creating cells or deep lines which are filled with enamel, fired
and polished.
CLOISONNE enamel is
created by forming pockets on a metal object, then filling them with
powdered glass enamel, firing and polishing. The tops of the metal cells
remain visible in the finished piece.

around the band in a chain-like design meeting at the front with scrolls
that hold the central rectangular element. There is loss of some of the black
enameling and wear on some of the
pearls. The diamond is approximately 0.15 carat, SI-2 clarity and I-J
color, ring total weight 5.086 grams.

CHINESE Blumenthal style large dragon brooch with a gold metal dragon figure
wrapped around a cloisonne ball done in green, cinnabar red, navy blue and aqua,
a substantial size at 3" by 2". The ball has a dragon design that wraps around
it, quite beautiful. It has Chinese marks on the back and a Chinese friend told
me the marks say 群力 qun li which means something like "work together". It
is a well made piece in excellent vintage condition, and heavier and better
quality than some of the Asian
inspired pieces I have had in the past.

RICE-WEINER LC Mark water man brooch carrying his water containers across

enameling, cloisonné and glass beads, it is signed on the back "pat D 129,573",
and made by Rice-Weiner circa 1941, designer Lois C Mark. This can be seen in
Brunialti’s "American Costume Jewelry, N-Z" on page 14. Brooches like this
were also made by other companies, but many of the unsigned pins are much lower in quality and
with lighter weight metal than this one.

STARET
GENUINE 1940s torch brooch, an iconic and patriotic brooch with red and
clear rhinestones and blue, red and flesh pink enamel, genuine and made
in the 1940s, 4-1/8". This is the real thing and not the later
Barnes reproduction, and I have owned both so I know the difference.
Staret was based in Chicago, Illinois, and they only made jewelry for a
brief period from about 1940-1947. This wonderful brooch is seen
in Christie Romero’s "Warman’s Jewelry", 2nd Ed, page 191, in
Brunialti’s "Tribute to America" on page 55 and in Brunialti’s "American
Costume Jewelry, Art & Industry" on page 242.
