embossed

Explanation:
non ho trovato riscontri per il lavorato a giorno; per intuizione credo che si tratti di lavoro a sbalzo (in rilievo) dove, sotto la luce, le figure risultano più chiare (a giorno) in contrapposizione alle figure scalpellate che, risultando in secondo piano, riportano l'ombra e quindi sono più scure.

questa è solo una supposizione.

a jour

Explanation:
I'm not sure either, but taking a big sideways step from sewing, where "a jour" is the translation for "a giorno" work (a type of stitch)...

I found a reference that could be of use - see a message from 08-01-2002, towards the bottom of the file. It refers to "Interesting Book on Medieval Metalwork and Enamelling Techniques".

Good luck!

openwork

Explanation:
"Lavorazione a giorno" è un termine generico per indicare le decorazioni a traforo, ovvero "openwork" in inglese (vedi le due placche illustrate nel primo sito sotto per capire la differenza).

Il secondo sito spiega in italiano alcune delle relative tecniche orafe.
