French gold Art Nouveau pendant with plique a jour enamel (emaille a fenêtre)

(Click the picture to get to this beauty)

One of the nicest little pendants with plique a jour enamel we have ever seen. French Art Nouveau (ca. 1895-1905) as only the French can make it, refined, tasteful and of superb quality. Too bad we couldn't decipher the remains of the mastermark but we wouldn't be surprised if this beauty was made by one of the famous French jewelers.

Plique-à-jour, (French for "braid letting in daylight") is a vitreous enamelling technique where the enamel is applied in cells, similar to cloisonné, but with no backing in the final product, so light can shine through the transparent or translucent enamel. It has a stained-glass like appearance and is considered very challanging technically.

Veteran's Day 2010

"As our nation gathers once again to celebrate Veterans Day, let us give thanks to the generations of brave men and women who risked their lives in the armed forces to protect America and the freedoms we cherish. It is our duty to never forget the courageous commitment of these extraordinary Americans from all walks of life who answered the call to serve. We also remember in our thoughts and prayers those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country when they gave their lives in the line of duty and those they left behind . . . "

~ by Congresswoman Shelley Berkley who issued this statement in honor of Veterans Day

November

A tingling, misty marvel
Blew hither in the night,
And now the little peach-trees
Are clasped in frozen light.
Upon the apple-branches
An icy film is caught,
With trailing threads of gossamer
In pearly patterns wrought.
The autumn sun, in wonder,
Is gayly peering through
This silver-tissued network
Across the frosty blue.
The weather-vane is fire-tipped,
The honeysuckle shows
A dazzling icy splendor,
And crystal is the rose.

~ Evaleen Stein

Happy Halloween!

There's a goblin at my window,
A monster by my door.
The pumpkin at my table
Keeps on smiling more and more.
There's a ghost who haunts my bedroom,
A witch whose face is green.
They used to be my family,
Till they dressed for Halloween.
