Production technology
The highest quality products are obtained with the help of "hot enamel". In this case, a layer of a special fusible material is applied to the product, and then the product is fired at temperatures up to 900 ºС. This is a very delicate work, since the composition of the enamel itself must be carefully considered in order tothanks to certain additives, obtain the desired color, then carefully apply a thin layer and bake. Such enamel is firmly bonded to the metal, additionally protecting it.
No other method is easy either. Enamel is prepared from varnish, to which special colored pigments are added. This composition is melted and still hot is transferred to special recesses in jewelry. Depth (i.e. the thickness of the resulting enamel) affects the saturation of the color, making the coating darker as it increases. Creating amazing drawings on the rings, the craftsmen then fill the recesses with the composition. And then the ring with enamel is subjected to the same firing at high temperatures, which allows you to securely fasten the coated metal.
