Enamel
In the simplest terms, enameling is the fusion of powdered glass to metal through the process of firing. The art of enameling dates back to the 4th century BCE, found on Greek jewelry. There are many techniques of enameling: Cloisonne, French for "cell", the art of filling channels of wire with enamel, Champleve - french for "raised field" where enamel in fired around raised fields of metal, leaving the metal exposed. The Celts used this method during the 3rd century AD to decorate their shields. Limoges - the art of painting with enamel. Pique-a-jour, another technique of enameling which resembles a stain glass effect. The above mentioned are but a few of the applied techniques of enameling, and many techniques may be combined in one piece.
