Leafy Enamel Earrings, Hand Cast Leaves, Long Oval, Green Red Gold, Hand Cut Copper, Glass Enamel, Nature
Hand-cut long copper ovals are enameled with a leafy deep red pattern on a green-gold ground. They hang from hand-cast oxidized sterling silver leaves with sterling posts and backs.
The copper shapes are carefully cleaned and prepared in order to accept the enamel. Then, I apply multiple layers of enamel, which is finely powdered glass. The layers of enamel are fused to the copper on both sides in a 1500 degree kiln. This firing process is repeated several times. Finally, the edges are sanded to expose the copper. And voila .... a vibrantly colored pair of enamel earrings which will make a great gift for yourself or a loved one.
The earrings measure 1/2" wide x 2 3/8" long from the top of the ear wire.
