Rebecca Di Filippo — Vitreous Enamel & Micromosaic Artist
Rebecca Di Filippo, also known as Rebecca D. Enamel, is an Italian master artisan specializing in two of the rarest fine-jewelry arts in the world: vitreous enamel (enamel on metal) and Roman micromosaic. Operating from her studio near Milan, Rebecca has been creating handmade jewelry since 2012. She is also a world-renowned educator and the most-followed independent artisan dedicated to these crafts, with more than 100K followers across Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.
Rebecca’s path began early. At 16, she started training under some of the world's leading enamelists, learning the art of miniature painting, Japanese cloisonné, and the classic Limoges techniques of émail peint and grisaille. Over the years, she has collaborated with several high-end fashion and jewelry brands.
Connecting vitreous enamel to micromosaic
Rebecca expanded her repertoire to Roman micromosaic because it employs the same materials as enameling. Her deep knowledge of the chemistry behind vitreous enamel translated seamlessly to this complementary medium. Born in 18th-century Vatican workshops, micromosaic builds images using microscopic glass tesserae, often less than a millimeter wide, set into traditional linseed-oil stucco called Roman stucco. Rebecca brings a touch of modernity to it, creating handmade jewelry defined by vibrant colors and contemporary subjects rather than classical motifs.
A global educator and author
Beyond creating unique jewelry, Rebecca is committed to keeping these endangered crafts alive. She has taught more than 400 students from over 20 countries through private lessons and institutions, serving as an instructor at the Galdus goldsmithing academy, IED (Istituto Europeo di Design), and Hobbyland.
She is also the author of ebooks on micromosaic and vitreous enamel, alongside technical articles covering enamel history and professional equipment reviews.
"The rare and precious techniques of vitreous enamel and micromosaic deserve to be preserved, developed, and passed on to the next generation of artists."
