Lumiere Lusters™ by JetAge Studio are specialty color shifting, heat resistant metal oxide powders and flakes that work glittery magic in powder coating, and a multitude of other mediums including enamel. These flakes are rated to resist heat up to about 1400F, and don’t have a specific coefficient. Similar to Dichroic Extract powder, they throw off a lot of color-shifting sparkle depending on the angle viewed. The larger particle sizes create a lot of shine that you cannot get from micas, and give quite a different effect from powdered extract. They’re also a great cost effective alternative to dichroic coatings and are more heat tolerant than regular powdered micas.
For use with powder coating it is best to cover the coating with a transparent powder coating.
Note: For use with enamel it is recommended to use a low fire flux over top and to use on items that are not for personal wear as the lusters may flake off. I have created jewellery with these lusters, but it is a slow process to ensure the flakes are covered using 1400F or less to put a transparent layer overtop. However, these are great for enamelled ornaments and art work and do not require a clear flux over top if not for wearing.
