Hard enamel

Hard enamel is a type of jewelry or badge finish where colored powder is fused directly into the metal surface at a high temperature, creating a smooth, durable, and glossy layer. Unlike soft enamel, which leaves recessed areas, hard enamel is polished flat, resulting in a more refined and glassy appearance. This process produces a sturdy, long-lasting finish that resists scratching and wear, making it ideal for items like high-quality pins, medals, and jewelry. Its durability and vibrant colors make it a popular choice for both decorative and collectible pieces.
