Thompson Enamel produces 9 different white enamels, which gives the enamelist some nice variety. So, if you're looking for a more translucent white, you can find that with 1040.

THIS PIECE IS READY TO SHIP. This is a unique piece, I rarely replicate the same piece unless the customer is asking. This is a fun whimsical necklace of a landscape with cloisonne design. Enamel is powdered glass that is fused to a base metal, in my case I use copper. I fire torch all my jewelry at a very high temperature of around 1500 F. The beautiful shades of green/blue, some opaque and transparent transform this necklace. The back of the pendant and component are also enameled with…
