Enameling is the process of applying colored, powdered, glass to metal and then firing it at high temperatures in a kiln. As the glass enamel melts, it's thermal expansion matches the expansion of metal, allowing it not only to fuse to the metal, but also to remain firmly attached to it when it cools down again.

Enameling is done on metals that have a higher melting point than the enamel, e.g. copper, gold, silver & steel. With each firing (up to 6 and 7 times), more enamel is added to create deep, rich colors.

Enameling is an ancient art form - not a craft. The colors created will last forever and will not fade over time. The distinctiveness of design that artisan Gustavo creates with each piece is timeless. This enamel master creates work that resonates across cultures and age groups. Three sizes of earrings, chunky pendants, bracelets, trinket boxes, incense holders and dishes are available year round.
