This David Andersen blue leaf set is elegant, it is expressive, and is finely made. It was designed by Willie Winneas circa 1950-1960.

The bracelet is approximately 6 1/2" long with blue enamel basse-taille sterling links with an under pattern. Great color. It has push clasp and safety chain.

The necklace is 15 1/2" long by 1/2th wide and a push clasp.

The earrings are 1 1/4" long x 1/2" wide.

This type of work is call Basse-taille. This a French word which means "shallow cut". The term refers to an enameling technique which has chased relief metal overlaid with a translucent enamel finish. During the process, the metal is engraved deeply enough so that the enamel can be held when heated. It also has sides high enough to be sure that the colors of the enamel are kept separate. The addition of the translucent enamel allows light to reflect from the relief and creates a very artistic effect. The end result has a loved play of light and shade and a brilliance of tone. So.. translucent enameling.
