Sun Queen Enamel Earrings
These vibrant boho-style earrings are hand-cut from copper sheet in an arch shape. Each earring has an intricate black crown image on a blue ground, with metallic gold sun rays. Each earring has 5 hand-formed oxidized sterling silver dangles, and a hand-formed oxidized sterling silver 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.
Earrings measure 3/4" in width, and 2 1/2" long. Ear wires and dangles are hand made from 20 gauge sterling silver. One of a kind.
