Aqua & Green Laurel Leaf Earrings –Cloisonné & Champlevé Enamels on Fine Silver w/ Sterling Ear Wires

These are lovely and long earrings that look great with both short hair (so spunky!) and long hair (so elegant!) All my jewelry is handmade by me in my studio in beautiful Raleigh, North Carolina.

Did you know that enamels are melted glass?

Yes! It's true... To create this lovely pair of earrings, I first fabricated the silver base out of sheets of fine silver. The lines of the design are actually fine silver wires that I meticulously bent by hand (and tweezers) into the shapes you see. Then I placed granules of ground up glass (enamels) in between the wires and melted them in the kiln. There are as many as 20 layers of glass in each individual piece! After I've added all the layers of glass, I carefully grind and polish it until it sparkles!

Materials: Champlevé & cloisonné Enamels on Fine silver.

Size: 2” long x .5” wide

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Champlevé: pronounced Shamp-lee-VAY
is the process of inlaying the colored glass enamels directly into a solid piece of silver, so there’s no need for a separate setting.

Cloisonné: pronounced Cloy-ZEE-nay! (always best when said with a flourish!)
is the process of using delicate silver or gold wires to create drawing lines that separate the different bits of colored enamel.

ABOUT ME

Enamels are my passion.

I have always loved incorporating bright color and light into my work, so when I discovered the beauty of cloisonné enamel, I was hooked. My work incorporates color, light, and balance- be it abstract or figurative. I'm influenced by all the gorgeous jewelry of the past, but try to give it a modern twist.

I love crafting beautiful objects to wear and adore, and I hope you will enjoy owning them as much as I enjoy making them. If you are interested in commissioning a unique piece of wearable art, please feel free to contact me.

A note for Newbees to 3D printing. (Existing 3D users already know this!!) The file enables you to get a 3D wax model created . Once created, this is then cast. If you think you will do more than 1 bangle, make sure you invest in a 'soft mould' otherwise you will have to get the 3 D Wax model reprinted (and this is where the main cost is - unless you have access to a 3D wax printer yourself). Going the commercial route is unlikely to be less than £150 probably nearer £175.00. But multiple bangles should come in around £50.00 (plus/minus depending on metal prices).
