The artifact to be non-authentic
Russian artwork has surpassed all cultures around the world throughout history when it comes to handcrafting silver with fine enamel inlay work of the exquisite work is reflected in the silversmith's art work. The legacy of Russian artist and silversmiths has been carried over more than two hundred years and the contribution is carried over even today, with elegant brightly colored enamel work done against the metallic shine of silver.
From the beautiful pieces of silver art such as candy dishes, alcohol bottles to jewelry pieces like bracelets and earrings. The mark of 84 karat on Russian silver on all genuine silver articles satiates even the most skeptical of all. The multi colored fine enamel inlay on beautiful hand crafted objects exemplify the art of magnificent uniqueness seen only in hands of traditional Russian artists. The handcrafted silver and enamel inlay objects are seen with a beautiful gilt coating inside with the brightly colored exterior.
The interesting art of enameling on metals could be traced back to the era of the 15th and 16th Russia, which was the perfect location as the regions of Orient and the West amalgamated so, art originated which was unique and exquisite. The peak period in the history of Russian art was highlighted by the development of Cloisonné technique that was related to the craft of overlaying of enamel. The Oriental or Eastern style of Cloisonné has fine wireworks or Filigree that separated each pocket and could be individually filled with bright colored natural vitreous enamel. While the Russian technique involved enamel layering on flat surfaces, while creating metal pockets for enamel to fill in. The process of layering and drying in alternate steps helps create the semi transparent look.
The Champleve technique is another innovative method of enamel inlay which is done by creating etching and scratching lines on the metal surface and later filling it with various colored liquid enamel which turns glossy when dry. All these three techniques were used by the Russian craftsmen to create brilliant enamel inlay work with translucent shine.
Most of the Russian Silver is sterling with 92.5% silver with 7.5% copper, which might get oxidized with exposure to climatic conditions. One of the biggest mistakes is that people clean that beautiful Russian silver with enamel inlay with chemicals and rubber gloves. The rubber gloves are harmful for silver as the cause corrosion. The beautiful Russian silver on enamel makes an interesting conversation piece anywhere, due to its beauty and magnificent look.
