Silver enameling (烧蓝）is a traditional Chinese enameling technique that originated in the Beijing region. This technique is a type of Chinese Cloisonne (景泰蓝 Jintai Blue) that was first developed during the Ming Dynasty, drawing on enameling skills from the Middle East.

In the Qing Dynasty (1636-1912), the technique was refined to imitate the rich blue-green color of kingfisher feathers, which were prized for their beauty and used extensively in luxury jewelry. However, due to the cruelty of the Kingfisher Craft (点翠), the use of actual feathers was eventually banned, leading to the development of Silver Enameling as a substitute.

Unlike traditional Cloisonne techniques, which typically use copper as a base, Silver Enameling uses silver, as its name suggests. This not only gives the finished product a unique look and feel, but also makes it more valuable due to the higher cost of silver.
