Discover an extraordinary and rare masterpiece! Plique-à-jour, a French term meaning "letting in the daylight," is a remarkable technique that creates a transparent enamel effect without any backing. Similar to the artistry of stained glass, this piece features a delicate metal framework filled with vibrant, translucent enamels. The stunning design is sure to captivate you with its intricate shape, showcasing meticulously set enamel insects around a central old cut emerald stone all elegantly encircle by diamond-studded florals and halos. A truly phenomenal work of art!
