Add COLORiT to your jewelry and dazzle your customers with its brilliance. It doesn't chip or crack like glass-filled enamels, nor does it flake or peel like epoxies. This ceramic-reinforced composite material is resistant to shrinking, scratching and impact. By means of a special curing light, it dries into a solid 3D polymer network with exceptional strength. Because it comes in liquid form it's easily applied on both flat and curved surfaces.
Use a single color, or mix colors to obtain any hue. Colors included with each set are of medium saturation, so they appear slightly translucent. White makes the colors more opaque whereas mixing in Clear makes them more transparent. Pearl White looks stunning by itself and creates a pearlescent, marbleized look when added to any of the other colors.

Both a mechanical bond and a chemical bond are required to ensure durability and colorfastness. Inlaid areas must be undercut, and proper application and curing instructions must be followed. COLORiT is easy to apply and dries in minutes under the special curing light.
From cleaning to final curing, the entire process usually takes no longer than 30 minutes; curing comprises roughly half that time and requires only minor attention.
- Colorit gives your jewelry the look and feel of enamel.
- Colorit can be inlaid into any nonprecious or precious metal, including platinum, titanium and stainless steel. It can even be inlaid into more Colorit. Colorit can be applied to difficult-to-bond materials like glass, ceramics and enamel using Colorit Primer to prepare the surface.
- Colorit is formable. Use it to make beads or imitation cabochons in any color – even multicolored “stones” are possible.
- Colorit colors can be used right next to each other for a cloisonne look – without wires! A few seconds of precuring eliminates color bleed. Colors can also be worked uncured for artistic effects.

- Colorit can be carved, sanded, filed, machined, lathe-turned at high RPMs, sandblasted, or polished to a high shine.

- Colorit is so versatile, workable and durable, it opens up entirely new creative design options.
