Guilloché enamel is a technique seen from the late 19th century that involves engraving a detailed symmetrical pattern on metal, with a particular machine required. A translucent enamel is then applied on top, allowing the pattern to show through. It was the Russian master, Peter Carl Fabergé, who pioneered the creation of guilloché enamelling.
