What Is High-Fired Vitreous Enamel?

Vitreous enamel is a glass-based material fused to a prepared metal surface through kiln firing. In Lovecriana's high-fired collection, delicate color and miniature painted details become part of a smooth enamel surface. A beloved pet, a flower, or a meaningful symbol becomes a small work of art to wear close.

From a Personal Idea to a Painted Keepsake

1. Design and preparation. The design is planned and the metal surface is shaped, cleaned, and prepared. Where the design calls for cloisonné, fine metal outlines define areas of color.
2. Applying the enamel. Glass enamel is carefully placed on the prepared surface. Color and miniature details are built gradually.
3. Firing and cooling. Our high-fired pieces are fired at approximately 800°C, with the precise temperature depending on the enamel and metal. The piece is cooled and inspected between stages.
4. Painting in layers. Further applications and firings develop shading, fine lines, and expression. The number of stages depends on the artwork.
5. Finishing. The enamel is inspected and finished, with engraving, stone setting, and assembly completed in the sequence appropriate to the design.

The Beauty Is in the Detail

Our miniature artwork is painted across a smooth surface. Soft shading and fine brushwork give each portrait its character. Subtle differences in color and detail are a natural part of making pieces individually by hand.

Made for Your Story

Selected designs can be personalized with portraits, decorative elements, or engraving. Available metals and stone options are listed on each product page. High-fired custom pieces generally require 4–6 weeks for production, followed by approximately 10 days for shipping. For custom orders, we share photographs and videos of the completed piece for confirmation before dispatch.

Caring for Your Enamel Jewelry

Protect your piece from drops, hard impacts, and sudden temperature changes. Remove it before swimming, exercise, and household cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners, steam, and ultrasonic cleaning unless a qualified jeweler has confirmed they are suitable for the entire piece. Gently wipe with a soft cloth and store separately in a padded jewelry box.
