What is enamel? Enamel is a jewelry decorating technique. Enameling uses colorful enamel to decorate jewelry with intricate patterns. The jewelry is first painted with enamel. Next, the piece is fired at very high temperatures. If part of the jewelry cracks while firing the damage can be irreparable. In fact, this makes intricately made enamel jewelry all the more precious.
