Sun Moon Paisley Enamel Necklace, Riveted, Copper Pendant, Artisan Jewelry, Mixed Media, 3D Layered, Hand Enameled Jewelry, Kiln-Fired, OOAK
Both layers of this pendant are hand-cut from copper sheet, and create a sun-moon design. The top layer is embossed with a paisley pattern, and then oxidized to highlight the pattern. The top layer is then riveted atop tiny tubes over a hand-enameled on copper base plate in rich vibrant red with a blue and yellow contrasting paisley swirl pattern. The stacked and riveted layers create a 3-D effect. I've applied lacquer to the etched surface in order to protect the oxidization. Each piece in the etched copper enamel series is completely handmade and one-of-a-kind, including this one.
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 enamel pendant which will make a great gift for yourself or a loved one.
Pendant measures 1.25" in diameter, and 3mm deep. Oxidized sterling silver chain and lobster clasp. Total length is 21". Chain can be adjusted upon purchase.
