Let the jewelry shine with a thousand years of artistic brilliance

Originating in the Mediterranean region in the 13th century BC, the art of enamel has evolved over the millennia to become one of the most fascinating crafts in jewellery making. It is a crushed vitreous glaze that is melted on the surface of the metal at high temperature to form a colorful, hard and wear-resistant decorative layer.

Cloisonné enamel, also known as cloisonné, is the most representative technique in the enamel process. The production process is complex, it is necessary to pinch various patterns with fine copper wire on the metal tire, weld and fix, fill the pattern with glaze of different colors, and finally present a beautiful three-dimensional pattern after many times of firing, polishing and gilding. The cloisonne artifacts of the Ming Dynasty collected by the Palace Museum in Beijing are still dazzling today, with bright colors and complex patterns.

Painting enamel is more focused on painting techniques, in which the artist paints the pattern directly on the metal tire with a paintbrush, and then fills the glaze to fire. This process requires a high level of skill from the artist, requiring precise control of the glaze thickness and firing temperature to ensure that the color layers and transitions are natural. Not only does the enamel process add a rich sense of color and artistry to the jewelry, but the glaze it forms also protects the metal substrate from oxidation and corrosion, so that the jewelry will remain intact over time. In modern jewellery design, enamel techniques are combined with innovative designs to create pieces that are both traditional and stylish.
