Enamel Jewellery Frequently Asked Questions
Enamel is the result of a decorative technique often found in jewellery. The enamelling process involves finely ground glass particles fused onto a metal surface using high heat, forming a hard, glossy material. To create different colours, oxides can be added to the glass powder. Different oxides result in different colours – for example, iron and uranium create yellow, while tin creates white. There are various enamelling techniques, ranging from Cloisonné, practised by the ancient Greeks, to Limoges, a technique developed in 12th-century France.
Enamel requires special care to maintain its longevity and lustre. Although it is fairly durable and resistant to scratches, enamel should still be handled carefully as it is essentially glass fused onto metal. We recommend removing your enamel jewellery before engaging in physical work, exercise, or activities that might bring it into contact with hard surfaces.
To keep your enamel pieces looking their best, regular cleaning is essential. Gently wipe away any dirt or residue using a soft cloth dampened with water and a few drops of mild dishwashing liquid. Avoid harsh or abrasive chemicals, as they can damage the enamel finish. After cleaning, thoroughly dry your jewellery with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
Store your jewellery in lined jewellery boxes or soft pouches to protect them, and keep them away from sunlight. Prolonged exposure to heat or moisture can cause the enamel to deteriorate over time.
