Script Initial on White Enamel Pendant Necklace
- Description
- An Ode to Enamel
Enamel in jewelry is not a new concept. In fact, it has been around for centuries, ever since artisans from the olden days discovered that it could make for an effective, less expensive alternative for colored semi-precious stones. And that is exactly the formula that we emulated here: originally we designed these script letter charms to feature howlite and onyx backings, but because we could not find stones that demonstrated ethical provenance, we decided to go the enamel route instead. And they turned out beautifully! RIVA New York has an enamel department dedicated to bring pieces to life with their expert techniques and creative eye!
FAQs
Can I request for a custom enamel color?
At this time, we only offer script letter charms in white enamel and black enamel.
Can you customize the font of my letter charm?
No, we will not be able to customize the font of your letter charm at this time.
What is gold vermeil?
Gold vermeil is a type of high-end gold plating. Gold vermeil is more hypoallergenic because it uses a thicker layer of gold (at least 2.5 microns thick) compared to regular gold plating. Gold vermeil is a more affordable alternative to solid gold pieces.
