Arch shapes are hand-cut from copper sheet and enameled in a marbled crackle pattern in beautiful shades of green. Hand-hammered sterling silver dangles and ear wires complete the look.
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.
