SV William Morris Strawberry Thief Enamel Pendant Brooch (Garnet)

"Strawberry Thief" is a textile produced in 1883 that incorporated colors other than indigo, such as red and yellow, into indigo discharge printing. This required advanced techniques and a long time, as each color had to be dyed, printed, and removed separately.

It was worth the effort, and it has become one of the most popular patterns, a masterpiece that continues to be celebrated for its enduring popularity.

The key strawberry and bird sections of the Strawberry Thief pattern feature carefully chosen enamel colors. The background is a deep blue enamel, accented with a single garnet cabochon strawberry, secured with a single stone.

The strawberry's color is achieved by layering two layers of opaque and transparent enamel, creating a lovely red color and a sense of transparency. The bird part is given a light beige shimmering enamel, designed to sparkle with every reflection of light.

We achieved the beautiful blue color for the strawberries through repeated trials.
