Necklace/Pendant Enameling

Enameling is a centuries-old technique of fusing a layer of glass onto a metal surface to create intricate designs and patterns. It adds an element of colour and texture to jewellery that is difficult to achieve with other methods. At GemTrove, we offer Necklace/Pendant Enameling services that can transform your plain metal jewellery into a colourful masterpiece.

Our qualified jewellery valuer has the expertise to enamel your necklace or pendant in a range of colours, including vibrant blues, greens, reds, and yellows. We use a variety of techniques to achieve different effects, including cloisonné, champlevé, and plique-à-jour. Each technique has its own unique characteristics, and we can help you choose the one that will best complement your jewellery.

Cloisonné involves creating compartments or cells with wires or strips of metal and then filling them with enamel. The result is a raised, textured surface with distinct lines and patterns. Champlevé is similar, but instead of compartments, the metal surface is carved or etched to create recessed areas that are then filled with enamel. This technique produces a flatter, smoother surface with less texture.

Plique-à-jour is a delicate technique that creates a stained-glass effect by using translucent enamel to fill open spaces between metal wires. The enamel is heated until it fuses together and forms a thin layer of glass that allows light to pass through.

Our enameling process involves several steps, including cleaning the metal surface, applying a layer of enamel, and then firing the piece in a kiln to fuse the enamel onto the metal. Depending on the design and complexity of the piece, it may require multiple layers of enamel and firing.

At GemTrove, we take pride in our attention to detail and strive to create high-quality, beautiful pieces that will last a lifetime. Contact us today to learn more about our Necklace/Pendant Enameling services and to schedule a consultation with our qualified jewellery valuer.
