Aurel Portus

Diamonds are set in the white gold after this pendant has been enamelled. The diamods would be demolished if they were set before the enamel is exposed to extreme heat. The sette hast to be very careful in order to prevent the glass-like enamel from any harm.

Guilloche is a kind of engraving of a pattern. For this technique only historic tools are used operated by some of the very last remaining masters of this trade. In combinateion with vitreous (i.e. glass) enamel the famous guilloche enamel is created. The last Russian Imperial Jeweler Carl Fabergé is one of the most famous creators of this rare and beautiful technique.

Fine jewellery is mounted regularly from many parts and components. This photo shows a 18kt yellow gold guilloche disc and a 18kt white gold frame while testing the fit before the diamonds will be set on the frame later.

Enamel is applied in form of a paste made from crushed enamel powder and liquids. The enamel is applied regularly in three layers. Each of them will be fired at 800 Celsius (1500 Fahrenheit).

A perfect finish requires attention to the details. The pictures shows a polisher while polishing with a string of suede leather the open work of a cover of the back of a pendant.
