How it’s Made
Details:
Hand-crafted vitreous enamel on copper base
Sgraffito technique - lavender scratched through golden-yellow base
Organic flowing stripe patterns throughout
Approximately 2" x 1.25" curved rectangular shape with oval cutout
Sterling silver ear wires (hypoallergenic)
Lightweight copper construction for comfortable wear
Multiple kiln firings create rich, layered color depth
Each pair unique due to hand-scratched sgraffito process
The Inspiration: Sgraffito is an ancient decorative technique where the artist scratches through one color to reveal another beneath - like archaeology in miniature! These remind me of sunset reflections on water or the layered colors in canyon walls. The flowing lines follow the natural movement of my hand, making each piece truly unrepeatable.
Care: Vitreous enamel is durable and glass-like. Clean gently with soft, dry cloth. Handle with care as enamel can chip if dropped on hard surfaces.
Perfect for lovers of traditional craft techniques, sunset colors, or flowing organic patterns! These make thoughtful gifts for art teachers, ceramic artists, or anyone who appreciates the beauty of handmade processes.
