Modern Sterling Silver, 18KY gold plating, diamond and ruby, plique-à-jour brooch

Description : A hummingbird holds a faceted round red bezel set 3.5mm round faceted natural ruby in its beak as if a juicy berry. His eye is also a faceted red round 1.5mm natural ruby, and four, 1.25mm round, natural diamonds accent his face. Outlined in metal and enameled in the same manner as stained glass is created, plique-à-jour, literally translated means allowing daylight to come in.. It is the fine enameling technique of applying the vitreous enamel into an area outlined in metal that has no backing, and is specifically intended to let the light shine through. Plique-à-jour is an ancient process, yet is used as a decorative technique in jewelry today. The presence of a hummingbird is considered an event of good luck, and an auspicious sign of joy.
