Frequently Asked Questions
What is enamel jewelry?
Enamel jewelry is crafted using a centuries-old decorative technique in which powdered glass is fused onto metal at high temperatures. In Georgian tradition, this art is known as Minankari. The result is a vibrant, luminous surface with exceptional depth of color.
Is each piece handmade?
Yes. Every Calypso piece is entirely handcrafted by skilled artisans. Due to the handmade nature of enamel work, no two pieces are ever exactly alike subtle variations are a hallmark of authenticity and craftsmanship.
What materials do you use?
Our jewelry is crafted using precious metals such as sterling silver or gold, and finished with traditional vitreous enamel. Select pieces may also feature natural gemstones or diamonds, depending on the design.
Will the enamel fade or change color over time?
No. Properly fired vitreous enamel is highly durable and does not fade. With appropriate care, the colors will remain vibrant for generations.
How should I care for enamel jewelry?
To preserve the beauty of your enamel jewelry:
Avoid impact or dropping, as enamel can chip
Remove jewelry before swimming, showering, or exercising
