Great jewelry present and a wonderful enamel figurine collection. The jewelry box is made from very unique techniques, the most typical of which is enameling on copper. The process starts with an objext being crafted from copper sheet. Copper wire strands are fused to the object creating an outline for the design. The cells formed by the wire pattern are hand painted with vitreous enamels. The object is then fired at high temperature essentially turning the enamel to glass. It is then gold plated with the gold adhering to the wire and all areas not enameled. The completed objext is finally polished to a gleaming finish.
