Enamored with Enamel Jewelry
What do you think of enamel jewelry? Personally, until a couple years
ago, I hadn’t given it much thought. But with its resurgence in
popularity, I’m becoming a big fan!! Certainly enamel is nothing new, as
it dates back to the 13th Century BC! (If you want to read more about
the history, Lang Antiques has an amazing article about enamel jewelry.)
Basically enamel is when a certain type of glass, called an
allochromatic, is fused to the metal below. You may be familiar with
Closionee and Champleve, which are two popular types of enamel.
Today, some jewelers are really taking this tricky technique to new heights, mixing enamel with jewels and themes that really make what’s old new again. Foundrae is one company that really has melded enamel, gold and meaningful talismans together. Here’s their Dark Blossom cuff.

Erica Molinari combines my love of momento mori and enamel in a new type of heirloom ring.
Brooke Gregson
adds a whole new dimension to enamel work with hand engraving. She
said, “It is really tough to create an enamel that also can enhance the
engraving and I feel this piece was successful in doing so!” Agreed,
Brooke — it’s awesome!
As you can see, there’s an extremely wide array of enamel jewelry out
there. Have you been noticing it where you live? Or perhaps you already
have some in your jewelry box? I’d love to hear from you in the comment
