MEMOIRS about husband Pieter Vedder, who was a SCIENTIFIC PIONEER in Mushroom Cultivation Education.

{Guilloché Enamel Brooches, Thimble and Rose Box}

When our daughter Liz asked what I got for my birthday I told her that I'd gotten one more lovely Guilloché Enamel Brooche with ROSES. Of course! So here I'd like to show you my birthday gift and another enamel brooch that I had before. Also an enamel thimble and a guilloché ROSE box. One of my favorite pieces.
This is a lovely Norwegian Arne Nordlie 925 silver guilloché brooch with roses. 
I put it outside on the balcony in the sunshine, on top of my silk La Perla night gown...
Yes, I do have a blissful relationship in many ways with husband Pieter!
This is a previous birthday gift from Pieter. An enameled silver brooch with roses.
Taking such pictures makes one aware of some cleaning to be done. To the right is a spot where a  tooth brush would do wonders! The human eye does by far not capture this.
One of my favorite rose pieces. A guilloché silver pill box. 
What artistry!
Guilloché is on the rim of the lid and on the sides. Amazing work.
This is a silver enamel thimble with a rose...
The top is from glass.

Guilloché (Guilloche) is a decorative engraving technique in which a very precise intricate repetitive pattern or design is mechanically engraved into an underlying material with fine detail. Translucent enamel was applied over guilloché metal by Peter Carl Fabergé on the Faberge eggs and other pieces from the 1880s.

  2. Hi Mariette, such lovely pieces with beautiful roses. Thanks so much for all your birthday wishes. My headache on Friday must have been from the storm that was coming. There's a bit of sunshine today so shall try to get out for a walk this afternoon. No special plans for today. I just love hanging out at home. Wishing you a beautiful day. Tammy

  10. Dearest Mariette
    Your birthday brooch is a work of art.
    I've always loved Cloisonné work but this is the first time I've seen Guilloché.

    You know how I love roses so I'll be looking out for these roses now too!!

    Mariette what an exquisite nightgown, it looks like a 'work of art' too - such exquisite lace.

    Wishing you a wonderful new week my dear friend.

    love
    Shane

  11. Liebe Mariette,
    das sind wunderschöne Broschen. Emaillekunst ist etwas ganz besonderes und die Rosen einfach zauberhaft. Auch Fabergé hat ja gerne diesen Guillochefonds benutzt für seine Bilderrahmen, Schmuck und die berühmten Eier. Für dich hätte er sicherlich eins mit Rosen entworfen.
    Schöne Grüße
    Johanna
