[Jewelry making - Article 00189] - [Orchid] Vitreous enamel on copper electroplate?

Hi all,

    Wondering if anyone has any experience with enameling on copper
    electroplate, rather than solid copper? I am thinking of using brass
    forms and then electroplating with copper in order to enamel them.
    I'm familiar with electroforming, but don't really want to go this
    route with this particular project. 

    I'm wondering if the plate thickness is enough to hold the enamel,
    or if the brass underneath would effect it's integrity? 

Thanks much,
Angela
