Have you been wondering…?

How you should care for your enamel jewellery?

Enamelling is an ancient traditional craft technique of fusing coloured glass onto metal. The vibrant, luminous colours of enamelled objects can endure for millenia. While an enamelled surface is very durable, it is also, by nature, fragile. Take care not to drop your jewellery onto hard surfaces or step onto it. To be safe, keep your enamel treasures in a separate container from your other jewellery - especially when travelling - to avoid pieces clanging together or damaging each other. Enamel is heat resistant (up to 700 Celsius) and water-proof. However, bear in mind that some enamels may be sensitive to chemicals, even aggressive household detergants or cosmetics. If you wish to clean your jewellery, warm water and dishwashing soap should be sufficient. With proper care, your Nora Kovats jewellery piece is intended as an heirloom to be passed on.
