Combining drawing and painting with texturing and patterning, these artisan earrings are created with hand drawn designs and multilayered enamel finishes. Made from steel, glass and sterling silver.
This jewelry collection is made using the technique of enameling, which is the process of applying small granules of glass to a metal substrate and firing in a kiln at high temperatures, usually between 1,400 and 1,550 °F. ‘Vitreous enamel’ is a material created by fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing. The glass melts and when cooled, hardens to a smooth and durable vitreous coating, in this case on steel. Depending on the design, the enamel has been etched to a soft matte finish.
