Hot enamelling is an old technique of painting with glass powder on copper, brass or silver and firing with several steps. Faberge eggs, Chinese cloisonne are one of the most known examples of this technique.

What is hot enamelling about and how it was made:
This necklace in Art Deco Style has an authentic Mexican bronze coin that are out of circulation now. I gently restored it, applied jewelry grade enamel to bring authentic Art Deco look.
The length is adjustable due to the chain used.
Materials: bronze artifact, copper, aventurine, lapis lazuli.
Hand-made in QC, Canada
This hand-made in Ottawa elegant necklace will become a conversation piece. The pendant has an authentic artifact – a Viking bronze button from 8-10th century. To make it stand out more, I added hot-enamelled copper round in teal colour.
Silver Crab has all elements to make you shine: sterling silver pendant partially enamelled with jewelry glass, sterling silver parts and chan, and sapphire beads. Although the chain’s length is adjustable, this elegant necklace will look perfect on a young lady due to its chocker size and small details.
Materials used: sterling silver, silver plated links, jewelry enamel, sapphires.
I got this cross from my relatives and then enamelled it. Silver is getting tarnished quite fast and cleaning such a big piece of jewelry on regular basis is not fun, so jewelry-grade enamel not only brings the colours into this piece, but also protects the metal from oxidation.
Hot-enamelled by me.
