Collection: Open Flame Enamelling

Enameling — essentially a fusion of metal, metal-oxides and glass — dates to ancient Egypt and Greece and remains relevant today as artists and jewellers develop and innovate to create contemporary work that inspires. An open flame is used to coax a symphony of luminous colour out of meticulously layered powdered metal-oxides, trapped in a clear-glass-like base, to create vivid, enduring designs that transcend time. It’s simply mesmerising to see the pigments and the metal react to one another in the heat of an open flame. It is no wonder that this intimate art form captivated jewellery wearers across millennia.
