These unique one of a kind earrings are handcrafted from 24 gauge copper sheet, vitreous enamel (pigmented powdered glass) and sterling silver.
First, the shape is cut out of a sheet of copper. It is then hand filed to remove any rough edges.
Holes are drilled and filed smooth. The shape is hand forged.
Vitreous enamel is sifted onto the copper and fired in a kiln at 1460° Farenheit. The process is repeated multiple times on each side with different colors to fuse the glass to the copper and create the design. The pieces are etched for a matte finish and the sides are sanded. The sides are oxidized with liver of sulfur and buffed.
Sterling silver wire is used to create the unique ear wires. The ear wires are soldered. The ear wires are 20 gauge.
Liver of sulfur is used to create the darkened appearance. It is buffed and a round bur is used to smooth ends of ear wires.
These are slate gray and white with a dot pattern. The enameled piece is approximately 1.5" in length and 1.125" at widest point. They hang about 1 "7/8 including ear wires.
Dramatic and lightweight.
The earrings are packaged in a cotton filled gift box and a padded envelope.
