Oh now that is stunning!

The red is spectacular. I had a badge I was commissioned to make for a submariner in 18ct a couple of years ago and the original badge the navy hand out (tin ofc) used resin (cos, cheap) and I tried hard to use vitreous but couldn’t get that perfect deep red & used resin!

I can never get my sulphur to go that nice black! I did just switch from using a pre-prepared gel to making my own from powder tho so I’ll have to see if it’s better. This piece here was the last time I tried to get a good weathering/ageing and it wasn’t as black as I’d have liked.

Oddly I have done a fair bit of work with cold enamel (ie powder resin), and some torch-fired enamel like this flag pin, but I’ve had my kiln for a year now and it even has an enamelling door (so you can side enamel pieces in/out without opening the kiln) but haven’t used it for enamel yet.

You can certainly go quite deep tho. I did these enamel pins using brass. The etching is about .75mm

Recent piece I made; Sterling silver triquetra ring, available for order on my website in silver as well as yellow, white and rose gold.
