Plique-à-jour is a delicate enameling technique creating a stained-glass effect by fusing translucent enamel into open metal filigree cells without a backing, allowing light to shine through. Originating in the 14th century, the French term means “letting in daylight”.
Nicole Barr uses true vitreous enamel (hard-fired glass), which is painstakingly applied by hand to 18 K gold and sterling silver – complemented with the finest diamonds, pearls, and gemstones. True vitreous enamel as used in each jewelry piece is the beautiful fusion of fired glass with sterling silver, resulting in a lustrous color that will never change. This technique was made famous in the 1900’s by jewelers like Lalique, Faberge, and Tiffany. Each design is hand-made to order in Raleigh, NC. All enamel jewelry must be handled with care, like a fine glass sculpture. Although it is durable like glass, it will also crack like glass if abused.
