Enamel Badges - Enamelling Is One of Our World's History's Oldest Art Forms
Look through your jewellery box or that old shoebox you have containing sentimental belongings and there is a pretty good chance you'll find a necklace, ring or a badge adorned with enamel. Enamelling is one of our world's history's oldest art forms used as far back as Ancient Egypt. The Byzantines, known for their iconic religious artwork, used enamelling in place of precious stone and you will also find enamel on many of the magnificent Ming Dynasty pieces.
