My friend at the local pawn shop gave me these the other day, taken out of scrap jewelry. The larger one is on a very deep blue background which was very hard to photograph in the daylight. I think the other one is on a black background. I think they are very well executed, considering the amount of space the artist had to work with, and have survived in great condition.
If anyone can tell me more about these, I would be most appreciative!

The first one belongs to Kyra, the colour green on yours is very similar to the dress on kyra brooch.
The second one is of mine, the back is the same has yours, I think the work is called Limoges enamel.
Thanks, Peasejean55! I see tons of Limoge around here, but have not run across tiny portraits like these. I did find this just now, so it verifies what you have told me:
