Silver Enameling: A Beginner's Guide & Resources


Question
Please kindly advise some information for the silver enamal technique, thx..

Answer
Hi Maya,

While this subject is not my expertise, I am familiar with it.  I would suggest you buy a good book on the subject. Jewelry supply stores usually have good books.

Mean while here is a site that talks about the art

This is a hands on thing that requires practice.  You will need to get the basic supplies from a jeweler supply.  Such as the oven and enamel (glass) in all the colors to start experimenting with.  You will need some cast silver shapes ready to inlay with the enamel.  

Here are some leads to follow.

Good luck in your quest,
