ENJOY!FYITHE GUILLOCHÉ ENAMELLING PROCESSIt is a common mis-perception that the term guilloché refers to a TYPEof enamelling when the term actually refers to a PROCESS.
Guilloché, phonetically pronounced gee-oh-SHAY, is from the Frenchword meaning \"engine turning\". It simply means \"engine turning patterns\"and refers to an ornamental pattern. Guilloché patterns can be seenin neoclassic architecture and banknotes ( in an effort to deter forgery).The technique as it pertains to jewelry making involves carving a design into a base metal.
