Product Description

To make these earrings I first have to have to hand form "cups" or flowers of copper. They are then well cleaned and then enameled. This is one of my new blends I call Deep Teal. Numerous shades of enamel are layered to produce this color, there are multiple firings. The enamel is fired to 1450 degrees numerous times. It reminds me of the deepest coldest part of the ocean. They are assembled using sterling silver which has been oxidized for a better contrast with the enamel. Handcrafted ear wires are made of 20 gauge wire.
Total Length: 1-7/8"
Largest cup: 1/2"
Smaller cup 3/8"

Enameling is fusing glass to metal, in this case copper. Each piece is fired multiple times including the back to 1500 degrees.
