A Miniature Limoges Enamel Portrait Framed in Diamonds This exceptional antique Limoges enamel tie tack centers on a finely painted profile portrait of an elegantly dressed woman. Rich red, green, blue, and gold tones bring depth and character to the miniature composition, reflecting the artistic tradition associated with Limoges painted enamel. A circular surround of antique-cut diamonds frames the portrait, creating a luminous contrast with the enamel’s saturated colors. The white-metal setting enhances the brilliance of the diamonds, while the reverse features a substantial yellow gold mount with a secure screw-style fastening.
