Hand-painted enamel is a jewelry decoration technique and is part of the enamel making process. It is often used in the decoration of fine items such as fine jewelry or clocks. This process involves crushing glass (enamel) materials, mixing colors, painting with extremely fine techniques, and finally sintering at high temperatures to melt and fix the enamel pigments on the metal surface.
Hand-painted enamel is an ancient craft that originated in ancient Egypt and Rome. It was later developed and inherited in Chinese, Islamic culture, and European royal families. Because of its complexity and the sophistication of the skills required, craftsmen capable of making enamel are very rare, so the finished pieces are often very valuable.
Did you know that daffodils are also called ‘Narcissus’? In Greek mythology, Narcissus, a river god, ended up falling in love with his own reflection (yes to self-love!). Sadly though, he took it a little bit too far and stared at his reflection in the water so much he drowned. In the place where he died, daffodils bloomed.
Because of this, you would think they would have a meaning of self-obsession right? Well, instead they’re known for representing rebirth and new beginnings, as well as inspiration, forgiveness, and creativity.
