About This Book

A practical manual presents hard-enameling techniques for jewelry, explaining how to prepare and grind enamel into clean powders, prepare metal surfaces, charge and fire enamel, and perform stoning and polishing to achieve smooth finishes. It describes major decorative approaches—champlevé, cloisonné, incrusted work, plique-à-jour, and enamel painting—and covers use of foils, paillons, and glitter effects as well as photographic transfers onto enamel. Throughout it emphasizes necessary tools, cleanliness, temperature control, and common faults with troubleshooting advice so that a beginner can follow step-by-step procedures to produce sound, attractive enamel work.
