Sharing the Knowledge

This blog is a joint venture by members of the Jewel Enamel Gems Facebook group.
We want to share our love of using jewel enamel also known as UTEE mainly to make jewellery but we do wander off into other creative adventures!
Although the Facebook group is a closed group we welcome members - you will find us here:

UTEE is well known by papercrafters and altered art enthusiasts and there have been one or two folk making jewellery but in the last 3 years it has totally taken off as an alternative medium to use for jewellery making mainly due to Liz Welch and Jewellery Maker TV.

The main tool we use is the Ranger Melt Pot and just recently Ranger made the decision to stop making it so although at the moment there are still a few to be bought from craft suppliers it is becoming scarce in the UK.

There are other DIY ways of melting the powder but as the temperature is about 140C you really need to watch your fingers!

Our blog will have lots of our members as guest authors sharing their makes and tips on how to create great pieces.

In the meantime check out some of our favourite blogs from the side bar list and have a look at a some of the stunning jewellery created using our favourite medium
