Large teardrop shapes are hand-cut from copper sheet and enameled in a beautiful shade of periwinkle blue. A nature-inspired image of a black and metallic gold anemone adorns each earring. Hand-made sterling silver hoop ear wires. Bold, bright, and such fun to wear!
The ornately colored sea anemone is named after the equally flashy terrestrial anemone flower, and is a close relative of coral and jellyfish.
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 3/4" from the top of the ear wire, and 1" wide.
