The process of enameling is thousands of years old and artists have been using this art form to adorn their belongings ever since. Metal is formed, polished, cleaned, and then multiple layers of glass are applied and fused by rapidly firing in a high degree kiln.

Each piece may take several firings with many combinations of enameling techniques to produce a variety of surface textures and color combinations. Simply stated, it is glass on metal. The enameled surface has a depth of color and complexity of light refraction that cannot be duplicated in any other medium.

The color of these enamel pieces will never lose their intensity or texture, and will last throughout the years. The owner of enamel jewelry should be careful not to drop them on a hard surface as chipping or cracking may occur. To clean, avoid abrasive or chemical cleaners, and use only a mild soap or a soft cloth.
