hello & welcome
Hi there. What sort of jewellery are you 'in to'? Everybody seems to be very different on this forum so that is great as you find out all sorts of things you didn't know you didn't know!!

Welcome caroleallen! I look forward to seeing your work. This place is very addictive, but very inspiring too
I've put a few pieces in my album. I've been working in silver and enamel for the last 10 years but am now dabbling in aluminium.
How cute is that Bleujenn Hammered link bracelet! I'm just starting to 'play' with enamel on pmc...and I love little flowers! I know nothing at all about aluminium. How is that bangle coloured...

The aluminium is anodised and then painted and dyed. It's then boiled to seal the colour.
AH! Hmmmmm! (Nods sagely)
...not a clue what you've just said!
Anodised...is that what they do to titanium to make it go all pink and blue? ....how technical am I???
Barbara
Similar process, but the oxide layer in aluminium is porous & colourless (hence the dye), whereas the thickness of the oxide layer defines the colour in titanium (and nobium, tantalum etc. etc)
