Enamel - Colorful Geometry - Gradient Turquoise Circle 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 is in a gradient turquoise, and has jump ring accents for extra flare.

Each piece is a one of a kind treasure, as no two pieces ever come out exactly alike.
