Technique

" GEMS OF ART " By MAGICK

• Pieces are extremely durable - hardness around 6
• If damaged they can be repaired
• The brilliant color will last forever

What is enamel? Enamel is glass that has been ground into a consistency similar to fine sand. Oxides are added to create permanent colors.

What is cloisonn é ? Cloisonn é is an enameling technique using thin, flat wires to form a design. MAGICK cloisonn é uses 24k gold wires, individually cut and meticulously bent with tweezers. The wires are fused to a fine silver disk that is engraved to reflect light. Using magnifiers, each “ cell ” (cloison in French) created by those wires is filled with different colors of enamel to create a shaded effect. The color is thus built up in many thin layers - each layer being fired in a 1450 ° F kiln until it reaches its melting point and fuses to the previous layer. The resulting gem is cut, polished and set in gold.

These repeated firings produce the spectacular brilliance of color for which MAGICK is known.

Care - Care for your purchase as you would care for any fine jewelry. Clean and polish as with other gems (including sonic cleaning) but avoid soaking in harsh solutions. Thus treated, your pieces will last forever. They are indeed heirlooms that can be enjoyed through generations.
