AN ANCIENT ART, REIMAGINED
The Art of Colour, Crafted by Hand
Colour has a remarkable way of telling a story.
It can capture a cherished memory, celebrate a special occasion or simply express your personality in a way that precious metals alone cannot. Through the ancient art of vitreous enamelling, jewellery becomes more than something you wear. It becomes a miniature work of art.
At Lucia Goldsmiths, we specialise in Jewellery Enamelling in Summertown, Oxford, with beautiful vitreous enamel pieces handcrafted by Lucy Riveiros. From elegant enamelled cabochons and intricate cloisonné designs to highly detailed hand-painted portraits, every piece is individually created with exceptional skill, patience and creativity.
Each commission is thoughtfully handcrafted to celebrate your story through colour, craftsmanship and timeless artistry.
YOUR STORY IN COLOUR
Where Colour Brings Your Story to Life.
Some jewellery sparkles through gemstones.
Others leave a lasting impression through colour.
For centuries, vitreous enamelling has been admired for its remarkable ability to transform precious metal into vibrant works of wearable art. Layer by layer, finely ground glass is carefully applied by hand before being fired at high temperatures, creating colours that become permanently fused to the metal beneath.
Every enamelled piece begins with an idea. A favourite colour. A meaningful symbol. A cherished memory. Working closely with you, Lucy Riveiros transforms those ideas into beautifully handcrafted jewellery that is both deeply personal and artistically unique.
From delicate cabochon designs to intricate cloisonné patterns and beautifully painted enamel portraits, every piece is created with extraordinary care and attention to detail, resulting in jewellery that's designed to be admired today and treasured for generations.
