Guilloché Enamel Brooches, Thimble and Rose Box

When our 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...
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.

Dearest Mariette,
How sweet of your Liz♡♡♡ That GORGEOUS Guilloché Enamel Brooche almost makes me jealous to you of her thoughtfulness LOL.
Yes, the picture sure is wonderful under the sunshine.
And the pill box is also really lovely♬♬♬
Hope you and your family are all doing fine (in Europe as well) and having a wonderful Sunday,
Love you always, xoxo Miyako*

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

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

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
