    Are you enameling directly into these or are they the protective cups that you put your finished enamel into?  I'm thinking it holds the finished enamel, otherwise you would need to counter enamel the back.  Is that right?  Thanks for sharing Edmund.

    Hello M, 
    you can use this technique both, as a frame, as for direct enamelling. The both types of use differ a bit. Please give me a short time to take some fotos and to explain the differences.

    II added the PDF file "Raised Edge framing" some images and some text. The program explains how to use the frames for framing finished enamel plates, and how to enamel it directly. You'll find it on the site: Notebook #2 and then under Metalsmith techniques or if you click HERE

    Edge raised frame.



    In my opinion, the enamel surface of jewelry should always be protected by a metal frame. That prevents, that the very damageable outer edges of the enamel become by a kick get demaged.

    In my enamel-jewelery courses many students fear soldering, or were not able to solder. So I let them make borders by "edge raising". That means, a piece of metal sheet becomes knocked over a mold. You get a little frame, which protect the edges of an enamelled surface.

    If you interested the whole description, click HERE, or on the bottom onto "Edge Raising Frame"
