Tiny (Dark Pink / Aegean Blue) --- Enamel on Glass Necklace

Description

Tiny and soft-spoken.

A small, dark pink glass tile was enameled with an Art Nouveau-inspired design in Aegean blue enamel and kiln-fired until its edges took on just the right amount of pillowy softness. It was then topped with a square sterling tube bail and hung on a sterling silver chain.

The perfect “wear-it-everyday” necklace.

The design on this pendant has been made by applying enamel (finely ground glass) onto glass which is then fused in a kiln to about 1500 degrees. (The design is not a laser printer decal.)

A typical glass firing is several hours long to slowly bring the glass up to and down from the peak temperature, ensuring proper annealing. This prevents internal stresses from being formed within the glass which may otherwise cause the glass to crack or break.
