Bright warm colors against a warm neutral background, these original copper enamel dangle earrings are part of a my new work in vitreous enamels. These are one of a kind, rendered in melted glass powders on copper shapes put multiple times into a kiln with temperatures between 1400 and 1450F.
Handmade oxidized sterling ear wires are longer, to balance the copper enameled shapes which are each about 1" (24 mm) long and 3/4" (18 mm) wide. Total earring length from the top of ear wire is just over 1 1/2" (38 mm). The backs of the little "glass paintings on copper" are counter enameled with a dark neutral gray enamel. Part of a body of work created Summer & Fall, 2014. This pair has been titled "Autumn Palette #1."
Vitreous enamels are an ancient technique of applying permanent, durable color to metals using heat to fuse the melted glass to the metal base. The enameled pieces used in my art jewelry won't fade, bleed, run or other wise change.
Each pair of enameled earrings is hand made by me, and is original and unique. Presented in my signature box & ready to ship. View more enameled work in my studio here https://www.etsy.com/shop/WillOaksStudio?section_id=17175728
