Enameled jewels come in and out of vogue every few years and, thank goodness, right now is a great time to bring it all back.
There are some new designers utilizing enamel in unique ways--figurative designs that border on cartoonish comes to mind--and others who just go for the pop of color only enamel can bring, whether it’s the opaque champlevé technique or the delicate, sheer plique-à-jour of yesteryear. This is definitely a technique worth showcasing and sharing with customers who are on the hunt for something truly different.
Here are 10 designs that show off all that enamel can bring to your showcases with wit, elegance and artistry.
