Brooches, or to our American cousins 'Pins', seem to have passed beyond the gaze of most modern jewellery designers. But not all, thank goodness. A brooch is one of the most effective, adaptable and long serving pieces of jewellery you will own. An eye catching pin brooch is capable of transforming a plain top or a winter coat into something a bit special. From the simple elegance of our pearl floral brooch, to the exquisite Swarovski crystal butterfly brooch. People who own and wear pin brooches are different. At Avalaya we'd like to think of brooch wearers as just a bit subtle and refined.
Enamel jewelry has its roots in medieval Europe, where it was used to adorn the wealthy and powerful. Royalty and nobility wore gold, silver, and precious gems, while lower ranks of society wore base metals, such as copper or pewter. Enamels, which provided color and protective power, were highly valued. Over time, enameling techniques advanced, and the art form spread to other regions, influencing jewelry designs and styles.
The process of enamelling is very intricate, but achieves flawless results when it comes to colour and shine. Here you will find your perfect enamelled necklace, whether you're going on a glamorous night out or need something vibrant for a more causal occasion.
Today, enamel jewelry is no longer reserved for the elite. Contemporary designers have reinvigorated the use of enamel in fine jewelry, incorporating it into their designs alongside precious stones and metals. Brands like Bea Bongiasca, Alison Lou, Melissa Kaye, and Yvonne Léon have put their own modern spin on enameled jewelry, creating vibrant and eye-catching pieces.
Enamel jewelry offers several advantages:
Durability: Enamels are resistant to wear and tear, making them suitable for everyday wear.
Low Maintenance: Cleaning enamel jewelry is easy, requiring only gentle soap and water.
Affordability: Enamel jewelry is often more affordable than pieces featuring precious alloys.
Color Options: Enamels can be produced in a wide range of colors, from subtle pastels to bold brights.
