Rose Guilloche Scatter Pins, 1950's Small Guilloche Rose Center Surrounded by Enamel Daisies and Gold Swirls

There is some enamel loss at the edges of the guilloche, which is typical for this age. Not noticeable from normal view.

Guilloché, pronounced gee-oh-SHAY, is from the French word meaning "engine turning" describing "engine turning patterns" and refers to an ornamental pattern. The technique as it pertains to jewelry making involves carving a design into a base metal then adding a hand painted pattern and enamel. The machines are no longer made. Faberge was the most famous designer to use the method. The popularity was revived in the 1940s and 1950s.

Not only do brooches liven up a dress or sweater and look great on scarves and coats, but how about some of these ideas:

Attach one to a slit in a skirt to highlight legs

Wear it on a sash at your waist

Add one to a purse to make it an evening bag

Use pin to hold tote bag shut

Put one on a hat for added flair

Pin brooch on a ribbon for as a hair accessory

Fasten to a chain as a pendant
