Enamel can be matte, shiny, opaque or translucent and comes in a wide selection of colours and finishes. There are a number of different jewellery enamelling techniques that can be used to actually apply the enamel. From the cloisonn\u00e9 technique to the plique a jour technique, here are a selection of some of the popular jewellery enamelling techniques that you can try at home:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Jewellery Enamelling Techniques <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Cloisonn\u00e9<\/strong> Technique <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cloisonn\u00e9 techniques use thin wires of copper, silver or gold to create sections or decorative effects in the enamel, which are then filled with different colours of enamel. The colours of enamels are applied and fired in layers until the piece is one depth. The wires remain visible in the finished piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cooksongold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_9869.jpg\" alt=\"Cloisonn\u00e9 technique earrings \" class=\"wp-image-17969\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cooksongold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_9869.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.cooksongold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_9869-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cooksongold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/IMG_9869-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><figcaption>Cloisonn\u00e9 earrings by Aimee Skelton<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Champlev\u00e9<\/strong> Technique<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The champlev\u00e9 technique involves the carving or etching of troughs into the metal surface, which are then filled with enamel. The remainder of the metal design stands proud, leaving the enamel decoration to the indented design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Plique A Jour<\/strong> Technique<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Plique A Jour uses the same jewellery enamelling technique as the Cloisonn\u00e9 technique by using metal wires to create individual cells. The only difference between the two being that this enamelling technique does not use any backing, allowing the light to shine directly through the enamel \u2013 similar in effect to stained glass windows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cooksongold.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/enamelling-technique2.jpg\" alt=\"Enamelling Jewellery Earrings\" class=\"wp-image-17968\"\/><figcaption>Enamelled earrings by Caroline Finlay<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:25px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can learn more about the different types of enamels used in enamelling <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cooksongold.com\/blog\/learn\/what-are-the-different-types-of-enamels\/\">here.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want to try enamelling jewellery?
