  • Guilloché refers to an ornamental technique for engraving metal with repetitive linear patterns. When covered in translucent enamel guilloché achieves a mesmerizing liquid silk effect; displaying a shimmering play of light and pattern movement when the piece is worn.
    Today, guilloché enamelling is a dying art practiced by only a select few expert ateliers around the world. Each enamel piece is unique due to its individual treatment and reaction to the firing process.

    Good grief, compared to mine that prep area (mortar and pestle) is clean enough to perform surgery in let alone enameling lol.
    And I agree, I would drool over a full video of this from start to finished piece. Exquisite.

    I have to say I prefer Andrei Ananov's work what becomes to Russian jewellery over easter eggs and other imperial house gifts past. Have a honest look., simply amazing. He has his boutique in St. Petersburg. Finnish Tillander is also something to look up, they had business in St.Petersburg before the Russian revolution, famous now in Scandinavia for modern jewellery design, main shop in Helsinki.

    What are the materials used in this video

    Although a fine example, a ,ot of guilloche was done via engine turning, machines that followed pre set designs. So, because of that, you may get some imperfections in the design, unless the artist is astounding. It's long since there was a Michael Perchin or Henrik Wigstrom at Faberge. The colour used in this piece is one of the easier colours to make, baby blue's have been used for over a century. What would be VERY tricky, would be a ruby red or emerald green, as consistency is all that matters. A fascinating subject, shame the video cut it short, you could post this to r/mildlyinfuriating

      @@rl4331 I’m literally the one in the video and the enameller of the game of thrones egg. On yellow gold reds and greens are very easy to achieve, the problem with baby blues is the yellow of the metal tends to turn the colour green, so on this one we use an opalescent blue. The problem with this particular enamel is any slight over firing and the enamel goes opaque, we have to actually turn the kiln down to give us a longer ‘window’ of time. On silver reds can be problematic, but we have ways around that.

      One question: do you use a special medium to make the glass powder stick upside down?
      Plus, what?! The GOT dragon eggs were glass enamelled?! That's amazing.

      @@altar7885we can add a gum that helps it stick, still can’t let it dry out too much though as it will fall off in the kiln.
      Not the original GoT eggs, if you search Faberge do have a video of the one they did
