An exquisite bracelet Art Deco, of French or Belgian origin circa 1920, embodies Japonism with its masterful Wedding band of 18-carat yellow gold, carved coral beads, and a striking black enamel finish. Quatre rows of coral beads stretch over an enchanting Japanese garden, centered by a carved coral bead in the shape of a tulip that cleverly conceals the clasp. Framed by engraved columns and enameled arches, this piece is a poetic testament to the elegance of the 1920s, aspiring to adorn the wrist of a modern muse.

Technique: Enameling is an ancient and widespread technique. The Egyptians of Antiquity applied enamels to pottery and stone objects. The Greeks, Celts, Russians, and Chinese of Antiquity also used enameling processes on metal objects. Enamel is the colorful result of fusing powdered glass onto a substrate by firing, generally between 750 and 850 °C. The powder melts, flows, and hardens to form a smooth and durable glassy coating on metal, glass, or ceramics. According to some sources, the word “enamel” comes from the High German smelzan (to melt) via Old French esmail. Used as a noun, “an enamel” refers to a generally small decorative object covered with an enamel coating, such as champlevé or cloisonné (different techniques).
Additional information: Japonism, a term of French origin also used in English, refers to the influence of Japanese art on Western art. The word was first used by Jules Claretie in his work L'Art français in 1872, published that year. Works resulting from the direct transfer of Japanese art principles to Western art, especially by French artists, are described as “japonesque.”
