Enameling is the ancient art of melting powdered glass onto metal, for the glass to fully fuse to the metal. For small pieces of jewellery, this fusing process takes approximately 30 seconds -2 minutes however it can take much longer for larger pieces.
Enamelling dates back to ancient Egypt where it was used to decorate objects such as pottery and jewellery. It was also used by the ancient Greeks, Persians, Romans, Celts and Chinese.
In Europe, enamelling made a comeback during the Art Nouveau period with designers such as Fabergé and Lalique favouring the cloisonné and plique-à-jour techniques.
Enamelling in jewellery is a wonderful way to add colour to pieces. Glass fused on metal can produce a range of effects, depending on the metal used, the surface – use of patterns and texturing – and the range of colours, as well as the type of enamel: opaque, clear, transparent or opalescent.
