In Georgia, the development of this technique covers a wide chronological range, spanning the period from the 8th century to the end of the 15th century. Unfortunately, the art form was lost in the 15th century and only revived in the 20th century when practitioners started mixing modern and traditional techniques to create beautiful glass jewelry, making a truly authentic gift. Ornament enamel art gallery sells pieces from the most excellent jewelers and enamel artists of Georgia.
