Enamel Jewelry Coming Back?
Filed in archive Jewelry Trends by tammy on November 29, 2005
Basically, the technique used to make enamel jewelry requires a combination of metal and glass. Yes, that's right. Glass is actually what makes up enamel. Ground up colored glass, which looks more like colored sand before it is fired, is arranged on top of metal and then baked in a kiln.
According to an article in Time Out New York, this method of jewelry making is starting to become popular again: " A cluster of avant jewelers are riffing on the time-worn technique, and the edgy results are getting high-profile exposure: The foxy servers at the sleek Sushi Samba restaurants are currently sporting it around their necks, trend arbiters Kate Spade and Anthropologie
are rolling out enamel accessories this winter, and style-aggressive celebrities Gwen Stefani and Kelly Osbourne have been spotted wearing chunks of the formerly fuddy-duddy stuff. Hey, if macramé can make a comeback, so can enamel." My vote is " go enamel."
