DELFT JEWELRY Jewelry made from Delft faience (tin-glazed earthenware) is usually set in silver, often with delicate filigree work and granulation. The classic hand-painted blue-on-white pottery often depicts windmills, flowers, and Dutch landscapes. Delftware jewelry includes necklaces, pendants, earrings, pins, bracelets, rings, charms, and cufflinks. Delft pottery has been in production in Holland since the middle 1600s, but Delft jewelry dates from much later. Delft blue is the most recognized Delft style, but other colors and styles have been used in Delft pottery and jewelry.
