Enamel Jewelry
The Premier Enamel Jewelry Manufacturer: Where Artistry Meets Precision
Bringing your designs to life with vibrant, long-lasting colors. As a specialized Enamel Jewelry Manufacturer based in Dongguan, we master the art of Hard Enamel, Soft Enamel, and Cold Epola techniques for global brands.
More Than a Factory: We Are Artisans of Color
Enamel jewelry requires a unique blend of industrial capability and artistic patience. Unlike standard metal casting, enamel work demands skilled hands to fill, fire, and polish each piece. As your dedicated Enamel Jewelry Manufacturer, HonHo bridges the gap between traditional craftsmanship and modern mass production.
Located in Dongguan, the heart of global jewelry manufacturing, our facility is equipped to handle complex color requirements. Whether you are launching a collection of high-end cloisonné pendants or trendy pop-culture pins, our reputation as a trusted Enamel Jewelry Manufacturer is built on precision color matching and flawless surface finishing.
Mastering Every Technique as a Versatile Enamel Jewelry Manufacturer
Hard Enamel (Epola / Cloisonne Style)
The premium choice. We fill the enamel flush with the metal lines and polish it flat for a smooth, glass-like finish. As a high-end Enamel Jewelry Manufacturer, we recommend this for luxury collections requiring durability and a jewelry-grade look.
Soft Enamel (Textured)
The metal lines are raised, and the enamel sits lower, creating a dimensional, tactile feel. This is the industry standard for pins and badges, offering a classic look at a cost-effective price point.
Cold Enamel & Epoxy Resin
Perfect for vibrant, complex colors and gradients on Stainless Steel bases. We use high-grade UV-resistant epoxy that won't yellow over time, a hallmark of a quality Enamel
Premium Base Metals for Enamel Application
Selecting the right foundation is critical for enamel durability and finish quality. We recommend specific alloys tailored to your design’s complexity, firing temperature requirements, and target price point.
Environmental Brass (The Enamel Standard)
Brass is the gold standard for enamel jewelry. Its copper content allows for deep stamping and secure adhesion of the enamel paste during the high-temperature baking process. We use eco-friendly, lead-free brass to ensure safety and compliance.
316L Stainless Steel (For Cold Enamel)
For waterproof and hypoallergenic lines, we utilize 316L Stainless Steel. While traditional hard enamel cannot be fired on steel, as an innovative Enamel Jewelry Manufacturer, we utilize advanced cold enamel and epoxy resins to achieve vibrant colors on this durable metal.
925 Sterling Silver
For the demi-fine market, we offer 925 Sterling Silver bases. We apply specialized low-temperature enamels to prevent warping, ensuring a precious finish that justifies a higher retail price point.
Advanced Plating Solutions for Enamel Jewelry
A great Enamel Jewelry Manufacturer knows that plating must happen after polishing but before final assembly (for hard enamel) or after coloring (for soft enamel).
- Options ranging from 0.03 microns to 2.5 microns (Vermeil standard).
- Anti-tarnish coatings essential for bright enamel contrast.
- Popular for edgy, modern enamel pin designs to make colors pop.
Inside the Workshop of an Enamel Jewelry Manufacturer
Step 1: Digital Proofing & CAD Optimization
Before a mold is cut, our engineers review your design files. We convert 2D vectors into 3D CAD models, optimizing the metal lines to ensure they are thick enough to hold the enamel and prevent color bleeding during production.
Step 2: Precision Mold Engraving
Using high-precision CNC machinery, we carve your design into a steel block. This master die determines the sharpness of the details. A high-quality mold is the foundation of a crisp, professional enamel product.
Step 3: Stamping & Accessory Welding
We stamp the design into the base metal (Brass or Steel) under high pressure to create the deep “cells” that will hold the color. Afterward, functional attachments like earring posts, jump rings, or pin backs are securely welded onto the back.
Step 4: Pantone Color Formulation
We don’t guess colors; we engineer them. Our color masters mix liquid enamel pigments to match your specific Pantone Solid Coated (PMS) codes. We adjust the viscosity to ensure smooth flow and perfect saturation for each unique shade.
Step 5: Artisanal Hand Filling
This is where patience meets skill. Under magnification, our artisans inject the colored enamel paste into the recessed metal cells by hand using fine-tip syringes. Each color is applied separately to prevent cross-contamination.
Step 6: High-Temperature Firing (The Kiln)
The pieces are placed on racks and sent into a kiln. For Hard Enamel, we fire at approx 800°C (1470°F) to melt and fuse the glass-like powder. For Soft Enamel or Epola, we use controlled lower temperatures to cure the resin without damaging the structure.
Step 7: Surface Grinding (Stoneing)
Crucial for Hard Enamel. After firing, the enamel often overflows. We use abrasive grindstones to sand the surface down until the enamel is perfectly flush with the metal lines. This reveals the design and creates that signature flat, smooth touch.
Step 8: Electroplating & Final Polish
Finally, the exposed metal lines are electroplated in your chosen finish (Gold, Silver, or Rose Gold). A final round of hand polishing creates a brilliant mirror shine, ensuring the piece is ready for luxury retail display.

Ensuring no "dips" in hard enamel surfaces.
Color Accuracy
Verified against your specified Pantone numbers under standard light sources.
Frequently Asked Questions About
Enamel Jewelry Manufacturing
Common questions about working with an enamel jewelry manufacturer and our manufacturing processes, quality standards, and service capabilities.
What is the minimum order quantity for enamel jewelry manufacturing?
Our minimum order quantity starts at 100 pieces per design for enamel jewelry. This flexible MOQ makes our services accessible for both emerging brands and established businesses looking to test new enamel designs. For enamel earrings, the MOQ is typically 100 pieces, while custom enamel charms start at 200 pieces due to tooling requirements.
How long does the enamel jewelry manufacturing process typically take?
Standard lead time for enamel jewelry is 25-30 days from design approval to completion. This includes all manufacturing steps from metal preparation to final quality inspection and packaging. Custom enamel pieces with new tooling may require additional time. Rush orders can be accommodated in 15-20 days with expedited processing for urgent market demands.
What enamel techniques do you specialize in as an enamel jewelry manufacturer?
We specialize in multiple enamel techniques including traditional cloisonné, champlevé, painted enamel, and modern gradient applications. Our master craftsmen have expertise in both traditional and contemporary enameling methods, allowing us to meet diverse design requirements and create unique effects for different market segments.
Can you match specific colors for enamel jewelry projects?
Yes, our color laboratory can match virtually any color specification including Pantone colors, RAL colors, and custom brand colors. We use advanced spectrophotometer technology to ensure 99.8% precision in color matching and consistency across all production batches. We provide color samples for approval before full production begins to guarantee satisfaction.
What makes you different from other enamel earrings manufacturers?
Our specialization in enamel techniques, dedicated 3,000 square meter enamel facility, and team of master craftsmen with 15+ years experience set us apart. We focus exclusively on quality enamel jewelry manufacturing with advanced color management systems, rigorous quality control processes, and the ability to handle complex custom designs that other manufacturers cannot achieve.
