A special technique with vitreous enamels used in this design renders a truly unique piece of jewelry that can’t be replicated exactly.
They have been counter-enameled on the back to reduce stress. The enamel (fine glass powder) is then applied in 4 layers, fired in the kiln between each layer at 1500°. The excess glass is ground off and all edges sanded smooth and polished before being attached to the Niobium hypoallergenic ear wires.
- 1 inch in length (25.4mm)
- Sterling Silver or Niobium* ear wires
- Enameled on both sides to avoid stress fractures
- One of a kind
- All jewelry arrives gift boxed with a small note card for your special message
Care:
If your earrings have sterling ear wires they will tarnish over time if not stored properly. I will ship your earrings in a gift box with an anti-tarnish pad. If you store them in the same box, this will minimize polishing.
*If your ear wires are Niobium, no special care is required. Niobium is an element used in medical devices such as pacemakers and prosthetics so is hypoallergenic. While there are those who are allergic or sensitive to silver and gold, a very minute number of folks can’t wear Niobium.
