Glass-Fused Color on .925 Silver: How Enamel Works

Enamel forms when silica-based glass powder melts onto metal and cools into a smooth, durable finish. The technique allows for precise color application, from solid blocks of saturated hue to detailed painted scenes. Our collection includes rings, pendants, earrings, and bracelets featuring both cloisonné work, where thin silver wires create cells for different colors, and champlevé, where enamel fills carved depressions in the silver surface. The glass layer rates between 5 and 6 on the Mohs hardness scale, similar to window glass. This makes enamel jewelry suitable for regular wear, though sharp impacts can cause chipping. Sterling silver provides an ideal base metal because it withstands the high temperatures required for proper glass fusion without warping or discoloring. Our enamel pieces arrive in colors ranging from deep cobalt and forest green to coral, turquoise, and cream. Many designs incorporate multiple firing stages, with each color applied and heated separately to build layered effects. Browse the full selection and find enamel work that fits your style.
