The master enamellist Radek Aljancic started out on his own business in 1993.
Previously employed as an enamel technologist at the Silka works in
Jablonec nad Nisou, he built on his knowledge and studied the chemistry of
silicates (Usti nad Labem, Prague). The gold frames are hand-made and engraved,
without the use of any machines, highlighting the distinctiveness of these
delightful items. You can be guaranteed of a truly unique work of art. No two
are the same.
Each and every piece is individually painted and fired to a temperature of 750°C
(1300°F).
The materials used are: fired jewellery enamel, ceramic colorants - applied by
hand with squirrel-hair brushes and then fired, and 14-carat gold. Do you prefer
a different purity of gold? Let us know.

It is hard to believe how many times the pendant is fired during its creation.
The following set of pictures describes the process better than words:
Painting is alternated by firing the colours, intended to bond the lower painting lines. In this way the perfect plastic picture is created.
