Levinger & Bissinger silver plique-a-jour enamel pearl scarab brooch. Maker's mark for Henrick Levinger. Sadly two small panels of plique damaged to the right hand side but I doubt I'd have been able to get it otherwise.
Beautiful as all your pieces! Missing enamel can easily be restored with resin, have a look to my posts on Janvier Quercia.
will do!! thanks, learning new things is fun!
My tip: back the piece with scotch tape before applying clear resin (un colored) with a syringe. You will then let it harden in the freezer (as resin won't flow!).
For colouring, go to a creative crafts shop and... Use the testers markers or buy some of them!
Have fun and greatings with these projects, cheers!
Gems your collection of plique-a-jour is wonderful. They are all exquisite but this one so far really does it for me! Please restore it! And Kyratango's work on hers has been fab!
Oh my. This looks superb! What a stunner
thank you :)
