Antique white enamel layered over copper, finished with a transparent glaze enamel that lets a warm, luminous shimmer of copper softly glow through. Earrings are hand crafted by Amy Johnson. Ear wires are .925 sterling silver.
This enameled piece started out as a hand cut piece of copper. Amy sifted vitreous enamel (pigmented powdered glass) onto the copper, heated with a kiln to 1500 degrees Fahrenheit until the glass melted and adhered to the copper. This process of sifting and firing on both sides of the copper is repeated multiple times for coverage and durable longevity.
Please specify earring size. Small is 2 inches from top of ear wire to bottom and 3/4 inch wide. Large is 2 1/2 inches from top of ear wire to bottom and 1 inch wide.
All jewelry arrives in my signature gift packaging. Always happy to include a handwritten note if a gift - just message me.
Handmade in Minnesota.
