Raspberry Fusion Earrings, Enamel and Fine Silver

Fri, 09 Oct 2009 23:38:53 -0400

$48.00
Raspberry Fusion Earrings: A dazzlingly beautiful combination of different textures in silver and stunning raspberry glass enamel. A feast for the eyes and the earlobes!

I constructed these earrings by fusing (a sort of controlled partial melting) and fabricating fine silver (.999 alloy grade silver, purer than sterling). I used an enameling technique known as basse taille where transparent ground glass enamels are fired over a textured metal surface so that the texture can be seen below the surface of the glass. I created the texture on the silver by imprinting a mesh fabric onto it. The fused silver has a shiny mirror finish.

The earrings measure 1.5" or 3cm long and are .5" or 1.3cm at their widest point.
The posts are sterling silver and are hard soldered onto the fine silver.
