Enamel - Colorful Geometry - Layered Earrings

Enamel is the layering of glass powder on metal, (either copper or fine silver) and then heating by kiln or torch to melt the powder, turning it into glass.  It can be a process full of surprises, as there are variables which can affect the shading, depth or intensity of color. I use copper, and I kiln fire for a more reliable effect. This particular pair features a "layering" of one shape on another, attached with sterling. The colors contrast yet complement each other subtly. Hand made ear wires and attachment.

Materials Copper, Lead free fused glass powder, sterling silver
