STORIES - Enamel: the art of colour in jewellery

When we think of a material for jewellery, our thoughts immediately go to gold, diamonds and other precious stones, but have you heard of enamel?

Enamel is a decorative technique in which a thin layer of molten glass is applied to metal. It has been used for centuries in jewellery, watches and art objects to add colour and shine.

What is enamel?

So it is a molten glass powder applied to metal, such as gold, at high temperatures. The result is a smooth, often colourful layer that is both aesthetic and hard-wearing. Think deep blue, bright turquoise, bright red or even pastel pink; the possibilities are endless.

The technique is thousands of years old, but in modern jewellery it gets a fresh reinterpretation. Enamel is used to add accents, create patterns or make a statement without using gemstones.

Why enamel?

·       Colour expression: where gemstones depend on natural deposits and colours, enamels offer complete freedom of design. From subtle tones to bright contrasts.

·       Durability: enamel resists wear and tear, making it ideal for a piece of jewellery you use every day.

·       Craftsmanship: each enamel element requires craftsmanship, precision and artistic insight, something that gives the jewellery an extra layer of meaning.
