For many centuries vitreous enamel has been widely used to adorn jewellery of the highest quality- from Parisian gold snuffboxes of the 18th century to Carl Faberge’s Imperial Eggs in the early 20th century.

Cloisonné, which is a design distinguished by using flattened wire to separate the enamel, is most suited to jewellery. Consider it.
