History: Bresse enamel jewellery is traditional jewellery from Bourg-en-Bresse. Its origins date back to the 14th century, when the town’s enameller, Maître Guillaume, was commissioned to decorate the pommel and scabbard of the Duke of Savoy, Amédée VIII. Between 1830 and 1900, the jewellery industry expanded beyond the Bresse region. In the mid-19th century, Bresse enamels evolved under the impetus of silversmiths Amédée Bonnet and Amédée Fornet, with the addition of gold flakes, enamel pearls and filigree arabesques.

The Bresse enamels are entirely handmade. The pearl or arabesque decoration is made from 24 karat gold and can be mounted on 18 karat gold, vermeil or silver frames.

    Hair jewellery was very popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. Jewellery with compartments made it possible to keep a lock of hair of a lover or a missing person (later it will be the photograph). It can be a medallion or a ring for example.  There are also jewels made from hair, such as necklaces, chains, bracelets and rings. These hair jewels are worked like textiles: they are woven, embroidered, twisted. A whole craft industry developed around this new fashion, which lasted until the end of the 19th century.
