Enamel Jewelry
Enamel is a combination of melted glass and metals, such as silver, copper, and gold. 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.

Traditional Blue Tablecloth
The traditional Georgian tablecloth is decorated with birds, deer, and other figures and has been an integral part of the local culture for centuries. Georgians modified the favored method of cold-vat dyeing that originated in the East and added their own characteristics. They used indigo paint to dye the cotton tablecloth blue and then decorated them with local patterns, making it stand out among the Russian and European counterparts. These tablecloths were once forgotten, but re-emerged on the market a while back.
