Colorful Moroccan-style hoops with teardrop dangles are enameled in deep red with a blue and green pattern.
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.
Earrings measure 15/16" in width, and 2 1/4" long. Antique copper ear wires are secure as well as lead and nickel-free. Handmade 20 gauge sterling silver ear wires and silver jump rings are also an option.
