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
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
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
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
2nd attempt at flower
I am presently wearing the first attempt at these earrings and getting very nice comments
These have been ground back after enamelling, polished and shepherds crook earwires fitted
If you would like to be my first ever customer for my new enamelled range shop at bottom of page
Each earring is appx 19mm tall x 15mm at the widest before fitting earwires
Swallow Of Hope
Week Five : And I think I am finally getting the hang of this
A popular design in the world of tatoo art , but much smaller as a pendant , so simplified.
A spoked design experiment, a translucent enamel applied to provide a less plain background
Appx 29mm tall x 23mm wide, my first
” I am happy with this one ” completed
Lotus flower like in video
Week Ten : My other half recons he has seen items not as good as this for sale on Etsy
Photo of finished pendant after enamelling , stoning back and repolishing
Personally I am pretty pleased, dam sure it won’t take me that much longer to perfect
Sterling silver 26mm in diameter and 1. 40mm thick.
Pear shaped set
Week 14 : Simpler the design, bigger the segments easier it is to enamell, lower selling price
Photo after stoning back , unpolished will be another variation available soon
My partner is presently working on the design and engraving process
It is becoming apparent that on average it is taking about 5 hours per pendant
Pendant appx 33mm height and 1 . 40mm thick
Earrings appx 25mm height and 1.40mm thick
Extra special & difficult
Week 16 : Continuing to experiment, this one took far longer because of the detail
Photo of finished pendant after enamelling , stoning back and repolishing
This one took almost 7 hours in total production time including cutting out and engraving
Sterling silver appx 26mm height and 1 . 40mm thick
Swallow of hope earrings
Week 18 : Attempting to do matched pairs for earrings is proving ” interesting ” especially when left and right handed
Solution seems to be less layers of colour , enamelled over the top with clear enamel & the results i am delighted with
Earrings in photo will be provided on sterling silver 925 shepherds crook earwires , disc is 20mm diameter
Extra fine detail like this in a pair so small and they took me almost 12 hours in total production time
Maple leaf sets in shop
Week 20 : Now far more confident & experimenting with blending colours
Also creating textures , after all Maple leaves in late summer are mottled, not smooth
I have three sets in production now , each will be a pendant about 33mm height and a pair of earrings 20mm height
Plan is to do Spring , Summer and Autumn , so a selection of virant colours for each season
