Color gemstone or synthetic ones are usually used for practice or creating material during the process of learning jewelry handcraft. Base on personal experiences that gemstone is rather expensive and sometimes difficult to get a suitable one for designing works. I research the materials, couch in glasses and ceramics, which are made for modeling and furthermore simulate the luster of gemstone by burn-made enamels to achieve the results. In addition, it's also easy-manufacturing and similar to practicing gemstones. At the same time make the goals with free modeling and lower costs. This research is by the method of experiments and relevant documents about enamels to distinguish traditional from modern way of enamel manufacture, and then probe into its feasibility and developmentally. The experiment, firing enamels on glasses, records the relationship between burning temperature and the variation of glass state of sodium-calcium glass and lead glass, so as to know each model's time and temperature and moreover to know if these firing enamels could be used for practice materials of jewelry hand-craft. The other experiment, firing enamels on ceramics, records 9 kind sizes of ceramics, to see whether it could support the temperate changes of quickly firing enamels and observes the effect from different ceramic bottoms. And induce how the convenience of color expression by enamel and modeling bottom by ceramic, and the feasibility of substituting enamel for jewelry when practice. The conclusion of this research, we indeed knowing that is workable to substitute or to be materials for jewelry hand-craft, moreover glasses and ceramics are quite cheap and easy to manufacture, so that we can give them up without heartache and re-manufacture them during practice smalto and for learning and practicing, and it is also a good auxiliary teaching material. Furthermore glass-bottom provides with excellent ability on pervious to light and it makes better effect for simulating gemstone. Via painting on enamel and arranging to model, it shows another more special style and effect on art creating.
