NOTES:

* Plique-à-jour is a vitreous enamelling technique similar in technical execution to cloisonné, where the enamel is applied to defined 'cells' within a metal filigree. With plique-à-jour, there is no backing to the design, allowing light to pass through the enamelwork, suggestive of stained glass. Plique-à-jour is derived from the French 'braid letting in daylight'.

** In 1888 Jacinto Roca founded 'J.Roca Joyero' and started her renowned innovative jewellers in Barcelona, Spain. In the present day the work of J.Roca is supported by The Museu Nacional d'Art de Catalunya (The National Museum of Catalan Visual Art).

Images do not always reflect the true colour and brilliance of gemstones and diamonds. The video however provides a truer representation of the actual colour and showcases each stone.
