EN TREMBLANT
En tremblant is a French expression that means 'trembling'. It defines a jewellery technique that consists of setting parts of a jewel, often flowerheads, on small coiled springs. This creates a subtle movement and makes the jewel sparkle and appear to come to life. This craft was very popular in the late 18th and 19th century.
