silver enamelled Cloisonné, Champleve jewellery

Sterling silver 925 jewellery made & enamelled in Hertfordshire England

2024 a new challenge, enamelling silver jewellery

My kiln and enamels arrived in December 2023 down the chimney , dusted off and ready to go

I have watched to many hourse of U tube video’s to count , read the bloggs , visited the forums

This website and its contents are the result of my trials and errors and hopefully some sales to come

Our workshop already consists of tools used for 20 years by my partner for signet ring manufacture

Engraving tools abundant , polishing and cleaning facilities , now I just need practice practice practice

Mini jewellery enameling kiln

My mini jewellery kiln

Designed for artizans , not mass production & draws little current it suits my workbench

As I only intend to produce a handfull of high quality products per week to sell

My first pair of earrings & 3 pendants partly enamelled + next two earrings on display

These are the result of my first 2 weeks endevours, who said it would be easy, it isn’t

60 Mesh vitreous glass enamel

Not all enamels are the same , I tried cold enamels previously, no kiln required but the results were dull boring and lifeless

Vitreous glass ground fine, water added & painstakingly applied

I am Working under 10 x illuminated magnifing lamp to apply & digital microscope

Multiple layers are required, each one fired inbetween in kiln

Imperfections are inevitable, and will no doubt be a feature that might otherwise be erradicated in mass production.

Vitreous glass enamel has the advantage of never fading in colour, a potential family heirloom in every piece which will be unique as no two products are ever identical

Four main stages of vitreous enamelling process

Stages of the process

Stage 1 : the design is cut out of sterling silver sheet, heated & acid treated multiple times

Stage 2 : Numerous layers of coloured enamel applied , fired in kiln between each layer

Stage 3 : when considered suitable clear enamel applied over entire design

Stage 4 : enamel overfilled ready to be ground back by hand with alundum stones

3 Enamel pendant ground back with alundum stone

Finishing & polishing

Stage 5 : now matt , having been ground back to the silver & silver emmery polished

In the bottom right photo it has been stoned back

Stage 6 : put back into kiln and re - fired to a high shine on the enamel, silver turns black

Stage 7 : Bottom right image, pendant has been treated in acid to remove black fire stain

Stage 8 : the entire design has to be re polished to return a bright finish to the silver
