[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 590503, member: 2844"]Welcome back Torkel. Your lovely ring is Chinese plique-à-jour enamel. It is like cloisonné enamel but without a metal back, which makes it translucent and much more fragile. The metal is gilded brass. The twisted wires instead of straight wires for the 'cloisons' were introduced sometime in the 1950's I believe, but your ring is much more recent. They made complete plique-à-jour jewellery sets, probably still do. Just wondering, why did you think it could be Latin American? Did it come in a box with Latin American things maybe? Which I am sure we'd love to see.:)[/QUOTE]
