Guilloche
This term is used in fine jewelry to enhance the appearance of brooches, rings and pendants. Guilloché enamel refers to metal pieces that have been given the Guilloché treatment and then covered with a translucent layer of enamel, giving the geometric patterns underneath the enamel a colorful hue. The word originates from France dating back to the 18th century when a French engineer named Guillot invented a tool / turning machine - although this fact and his existence are often debated.
