Enamel Repair and Other Service Links

Enamel repair is not an easy thing as considerations such as type of enamel and what else is on the piece (gem stones) have to be considered. Sometimes it is easier and less expensive to repair with resin (sometimes erroneously called soft, unfired or cold enamel), which is not actually enamel, but can be used with less risk to the piece. Be sure to know what you are getting.
