About The Enamel Collection
The Enamel Collection includes small and large artworks in glass and metal accented with gold and precious gemstones, using the ancient technique of enameling. Enameling is the process of applying small granules of glass to a metal substrate and firing in a kiln at high temperatures, usually between 1,400 and 1,550 °F. ‘Vitreous enamel’ is a material created by fusing powdered glass to a surface material with heat. The glass melts when fired and when cooled, hardens to a smooth and durable vitreous coating, in this case on steel, copper or fine silver. Depending on the design, the enamel has been etched to a soft matte finish.
Drawn to luminosity, layering and texture, Jenne is intrigued by the centuries old technique of enameling on metal. With perpetual curiosity she continually strives to better her understanding of historical enamel methods to create richly textured, artistically expressive and technically innovative contemporary art and jewelry.
Jewelry Care
To clean your enamel jewelry, you can use a cloth or soft toothbrush with soapy water. Dry the pieces thoroughly with a soft dry cloth.
Remember that your jewelry is made of glass and metal and it may chip or scratch if treated carelessly. Store it in its own box or compartment as not to hit against other pieces of jewelry.
