For accuracy, the craftsmen will carefully draw the decorative dial with the help of a microscope, from the most flexible color to the most delicate color. After the dial is fired, it is covered with transparent enamel. Glaze, the whole process is considered complete.
Filament enamel: Before painting the enamel, first use exquisite gold wire to shape the outline of the pattern, and then fill the enamel with professional brushes. The next step is sintering at a fixed temperature of 800 ° C. After cooling down, the excess enamel was carefully polished with hard stone and water, then polished with a diamond file in the hand. After the final Dorure session, the delicate and magnificent enamel bloomed charmingly.
