Plique-à-Jour 18ct Gold Cross

684E
436 Admirers
Written by Olly Gerrish

A very unusual French 18ct gold cross which has been enamelled in the plique-à-jour method which is a French term for “glimpse of day”. It is a type of enamel which creates the translucent effect of a stained glass window. The technique suspends the enamel between wires without a backing allowing light to pass through. This cross is a lovely example of the technique. It was made in the Belle Epoque period, circa 1910.
