Picture frame enamel angel green

An angel made of genuine 925 sterling silver, a glowing green guilloché frame made of rhodium-plated brass — this compact picture frame from Russkiye Samotsvety combines two techniques into a lasting keepsake. Compact enough for a nightstand or backpack, valuable enough for a lifetime.

What you see in the picture — and why it glows

The green surface of the frame is not paint. It is guilloché enamel: under the crystal-clear enamel layer lies a geometric pattern precisely engraved into the brass. This pattern refracts light — depending on the viewing angle, the surface shifts between deep green and bright shimmer. This is partially visible in the product photo; the effect is even more pronounced on the actual object.

The angel figure made of 925 sterling silver sits raised on the frame. The frame itself is made of brass, rhodium-plated — which is why all metal parts appear in a harmonious silver tone. The rhodium protective layer prevents tarnishing, just like with high-quality jewelry.

How Guilloché Enamel is Made — Step by Step

First, a rose engine — a mechanical precision tool — engraves a uniform, repeating pattern into the metal surface. Every line must be exact; a deviation destroys the symmetry of the pattern.

Then, transparent, green-tinted enamel is applied in several thin layers. Each layer is fired separately at around 800 °C and must cool completely before the next layer is applied. The finished enamel acts like a magnifying glass: the engraved pattern glows through it and changes with the light. This process is complex, time-consuming, and cannot be arbitrarily accelerated — this is the reason for the price of these objects.

Russkiye Samotsvety has mastered this technique for decades and is one of the most renowned Russian manufacturers of enamel jewelry and accessories.
