Guilloché in jewelry making involves carving a design into a base metal. The guilloché pattern is then filled with different colors of enamel paint. After enameling, decorative accents such as hand painted roses may be added. Machines used to create guilloché patterns are no longer manufactured. Thus, guilloché today is found mostly in luxury watches.
