Enamel Jewelry – FAQs
What is "Cold Enamel" and how is it used in Gemondo jewellery?
Cold enamel is a sophisticated modern technique where a high-grade, vibrant resin is applied to metal surfaces like gold and sterling silver. Instead of kiln-firing, our enamel is cured through a precise chemical reaction or UV light. This allow us to achieve a smooth, durable, and pigment-rich finish that perfectly complements our "petite" and intricate designs.
What materials and tools are used in the enameling process?
We use professional-grade materials and precision equipment to ensure every piece meets our luxury standards. This includes:
Custom Enamel Resin: Mixed to provide deep, lasting color.
Specific Hardener: Added to initiate the curing process for maximum durability.
Precision Scales: Used to measure the exact ratio of resin to hardener for a perfect chemical bond.
Professional Cleaning Solutions: We use high-grade acetone to remove any microscopic excess, ensuring the metal stays pristine and the enamel edges are razor-sharp.

Is enamel jewellery durable enough for everyday wear?
Yes. Once the curing process is complete, the enamel forms a hard, resilient, and glossy shield. This surface is designed to be water-resistant and durable. Because our process involves a meticulous "Bubble Control" stage—where every piece is inspected for air pockets and heat-leveled for a perfectly flat finish—the result is a smooth, high-shine surface that resists chipping during normal daily activities.
How do you achieve such vibrant and consistent colors?
We treat color as an art form. Our enamel resin is custom-mixed according to specific Pantone color requirements. Whether it's a deep forest green or a soft pastel pink, this process ensures that every piece in a collection has perfect color consistency and vibrancy.
How do I care for my enamel jewellery?
To maintain the glossy luster, simply wipe it with a soft, lint-free cloth. While the enamel is durable, we recommend avoiding harsh chemicals. Storing your pieces in their original Gemondo box will keep the hand-applied surface looking vibrant for years to come.
