Evil Eye Link Bracelet
CustomMade by Dmitriy Polyakov
Cloisonne enamel bracelet in sterling silver (each section is 2cm in length with a 1mm bezel)
Bracelet andcrafted using the ancient, unique, and traditional Cloisonne enameling techniques.)
Cloisonne:
French for "cloison" or "cell." A process in which precious metal wires are bent to form
… a design; enamel is then inlaid into the resulting "cloisons."
Technique:
Enamel (glass) is crushed to a powder somewhat finer than granulated sugar. Fine silver or 24K gold fine ribbons of wire are placed onto an enameled surface and fired in a kiln to hold their position. After the wires are fired in place thin layers of colored enamel are packed into each cell using a fine sable brush or special tools and then fired in a kiln at 1475 degrees Fahrenheit for 3 minutes. This process is repeated until the enamels reach the top of the wires. The beautiful depth in the enamel piece is created by blending and shading the finely ground enamels and from the repeated firings. As many as 20 firings can go into each piece. Once the enameling process is complete, the enameled piece is ground and polished.

White gold Pendent of family crest
by Matthew S. Dec 08th 2012
Dmitry with Awked Designs is knowledgeable and a master at his craft. He was able to consult with me and steer me in the right direction in choosing the right materials for my project. He kept good communication and included photos of my project as it was being made. My experience overall has been very positive and I will definitely keep both Custom Made and Awked Designs in mind for all my future projects! Very happy and can't wait to give my fiance the pendant on our wedding day!

Very personable, open to ideas, accommodating and easy to work with - HUGE SUCCESS!! Great artist and the necklace turned out exactly as I had imagined. I love it and hope to do another one day when my son is old enough to draw a special picture for "mommy".
