Periwinkle Blue Enamel Teardrop Earrings with Sterling retailer Silver Accent

retailer Periwinkle Blue Enamel Teardrop Earrings with Sterling Silver Accent

These earrings began as plain teardrop shapes cut from copper sheet. Then, each side received two layers of light periwinkle blue (edging toward lavender) vitreous enamel (glass). The pieces were fired in the kiln after each layer. Finally, I added small sterling silver teardrop shapes handmade from squre wire, and attached them to sterling silver earwires. The teardrop shapes are domed for dimension.

The earrings hang 1 1/4" (3.2cm) from the top of the ear wire to the bottom of the teardrop shape. The enameled teardrop is 5/8" (1.6cm) at its widest part.

***Important! Vitreous enamel is glass and can crack or break if not handled carefully. Do not drop or step on your piece of jewelry. If transporting the earrings, keep them protected from bumping into other items. Long earwires are more prone to bending, so please handle those carefuly as well.***
