This luminescent charm is created of plique-a-jour enamel, an intricate technique where enamel is applied to individual cells but not backed, allowing the light to shine through. This creates a vibrancy similar to an actual stained glass window. This amazing 18k gold charm celebrates the SS France, a French transatlantic liner known as the "French Line". She was later nicknamed "Versailles of the Atlantic", a reference to her décor which reflected the famous palace outside Paris. Ordered in 1908, she was introduced into the Transatlantic route in 1912, just a week after the sinking of the Titanic Serving as a hospital ship during World War I, the France would have a career spanning two decades. An amazing collectible.
