Powder Coat Jewelry Experiments

The holidays were a good time to take off from our regular crafts and continue working with Powder Coat. Here's the photos from some of the creations we made.

We've said that our attempts at enameling lead us to working with powder coat and to that end the first photos shows several pieces with Cloisonné wire. We even used the Cloisonné glue for the wires with no effect to the powder coat, just be sure to dry the glue or bubbles will appear when curing. We used a copper wire to create the designs and then clear coated the pieces for a nice shiny effect.


We brought out the disk cutter and dapping block for the second photo and all these pieces are made of 22 gauge aluminum. We used the dapping block to create the domes and then polished them up nicely, then applied powder coat to the background disk, flowed it and applied the top domes and cured them using the powder coat to glue the pieces together. The flatter pieces again are two pieces where we applied the powder coat to each, flowed them and put them to together and cured them. These pieces also have the clear coat applied to them as a second coat after curing the first coat.

Here's a list of powder coat colors (with convenient links) we used in these pieces:

• Pale Green Powder Coat
• Pale Turquoise Powder Coat
• Black Cherry Powder Coat
• Salmon Pink Powder Coat
• Curry Powder Coat
• Green Malachite Hammertone Powder Coat
• Blue Lilac Powder Coat
• Jet Black Powder Coat
• Clear Coat Powder Coat

If you have questions about any of the designs leave us a comment and we'll make a instruction sheet for that design.
