Guilloche Enamel is a special technique used by the famed jewelers of the 19th and early 20th centuries. It was, for example, a technique favored by the legendary Fabergé.

From about 1880 through the 1920's, silversmiths made small silver tools with Guilloche Enamel. My very best thimble is a German Guilloche thimble with gold dots planted in the enamel.

I've loved Guilloche Enamel ever since I found out about it and so I made a sampler of the Guilloche Needlework Tools I have collected.

I sold it a few years back and people have been asking if I would bring it back. Here it is.

The instructions for Guilloche Enamel Needlework Tools Sampler are 45 pages long, with 6 Oversize Graphs, a Title page and a color copy of my Sampler.

With 13 colors of Soie d'Alger, a 7-ply silk, 7 spools and 1 strand of Kreinik braid and a single ball of pearl cotton, the sampler is on soft ivory (the color) congress cloth 13" x 15".
