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 section below.

Notable Watch Index Styles Watches are comprised of so many intricate details from the inside out, some you may not even think of. From an aesthetic perspective, you might prefer a particular case material, dial color, or bracelet style. One element you might overlook is the watch’s indices. Indices are another way to refer to the watch’s hour markers. You may be surprised at how much different types of watch indices can impact the look of the dial. Here, we’ve compiled some common types of indices for you to consider. Arabic Numerals Arabic numerals are the most common symbols for numbers today, replacing Roman numerals. They can appear in watches in different forms. Sometimes, Arabic numerals may number each hour marker from one to twelve. Other watch designs use Arabic numerals at the three, six, nine, and twelve-o’clock positions.

This Strange Jewelry Thwarts Facial-Recognition Technology

Image
It can be a bit unsettling when Facebook recognizes the people in your photos and makes tag suggestions. It’s as if no one can escape the social media platform’s knowing eye. But Ewa Nowak, co-founder of the industrial design firm NOMA, might have a way to fly under the radar, Fast Company reports. A concept she describes as “face jewelry” includes “two brass circles that hang down from the cheekbones and an additional long piece of brass that stretches up the forehead,” according to Fast Company. You wear it from your ears like eyeglasses. The jewelry managed to  confound Facebook’s algorithms when Nowak uploaded photos to a gallery on the site. For now, Nowak views the design as art rather than a product. In fact, the work, which recently earned the Mazda Design Award at the Łódź Design Festival, can be thought of as a statement. Nowak, a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, Poland, submitted the face jewelry for an exhibition at the national museum
