What's for sale?
This is a beautiful bracelet of white enamel and gold-plated Sterling silver, made by Norwegian jeweller David Andersen. Vermeil is the name given to plating silver with gold.
It comprises eleven gold-plated, Sterling silver panels, joined via pairs of gold-plated links and fastened with a gold-plated, push-pull, tongue clasp.
On each wide panel is a basse-taille, sunburst, just visible beneath the white enamel. On the smaller panels are champlevé flowers, also in white enamel.
Basse-taille (low cut) is the technique of engraving a pattern in relief and covering it with enamel, such that the engraving is still visible beneath.
Champlevé (raised field) is the technique of hollowing out bordered sections, filling them with enamel and polishing until a uniform height is achieved.
