A 20 gauge copper crescent, and two stars are enameled in blue and gold, joined with antique copper rings.
The moon and stars represent different things in different cultures but the one thing that is common in all of them is their polarity. The moon represents calmness, beauty, nurturing. Stars have often been associated with guidance, enlightenment, and spirituality. They are seen as celestial beacons that illuminate the darkness, offering hope and inspiration to individuals. Moreover, stars are commonly used to represent energy, dreams, and aspirations. In many different cultures, stars represent souls. Therefore, a shooting star means a soul is on a journey.
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.
The earrings measure 1" wide x 1.75" long from the top of the ear wire.
