9k Foiled Pansy Brooch c 1820 April 4th was the model for GothicFoiling is a gemstone surface enhancement technique where a thin sheet of metal or other material (sometimes colored) is placed behind the gemstone in order to reflect more light, and or color, back into the stone and then towards the viewer.
