| What is enamel? Enamel is a soft glass compound made up
of various substances, including borax, silica, potash, and various
metallic oxides which serve to produce the stunning colours that give body
and depth and beauty to articles, be it jewellery or objet d art. At Frank
Roberts we use traditional jewellery glass enamel and employ traditional
methods. Our colours are hand ground and then applied to the work by hand.
The enamel article is then fired in a kiln at high temperature so as to
fuse the enamel to the metallic base, this is where a molecular bond takes
place and ensures the enamel retains it's lustre. We take great pride in
our work and be rest assured we always strive to produce a quality finish
to the product.
