Arch shapes are hand-cut from copper sheet and enameled in a beautiful shade of teal blue-green. An Art Deco image of flowering tulips ad vines adorn each earring, along with hand-painted copper accents. Hand-hammered sterling silver dangles and ear wires.
The most known meaning of tulips is perfect and deep love. As tulips are a classic flower that has been loved by many for centuries they have been attached with the meaning of love.
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 2 5/8" from the top of the ear wire, and 3/4" wide.
