Freeform oval shapes are hand-cut from 20 gauge copper sheet and enameled in a beautiful shade of teal blue-green. A leaf image in gold and one in black adorn each earring. Hand-made oxidized sterling ear wires.
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.
Each earring measures 1 3/4" from the top of the ear wire, and 7/8" wide.
