Textured Fine Silver with Enamel Flower Pendant Choker

Textured Fine Silver with Enamel Flower Pendant Choker, originally uploaded by silver canyons.

This year for me is all about learning the art of enameiing.

This is the second piece "successfully" enameled, I say successfully because these particular colors are very had to achieve when working with precious metal clay.
Greens and blues, not problem. But delve into the red hues, fasten your seat belts people, you never know what will turn out!

So, I present to you, my fine silver and enameled star pendant!

Stamped Sterling Silver Corkscrew Lampwork Earrings

Artisan Handcrafteed Sterling Silver Lampwork Dangle Earrings featuring design stamped sterling silver wire with lampwork beads

This design started with 16 gauge round sterling wire which I was hammered and flattened. I then, hand stamped the length of the wire with different patterns; annealed, then twisted into a corkscrew ribbon style dangle. A patina was added to bring out the stamped design, then placed in the tumbler for several hours to give a high shine.
Lampwork beads are from one of my favorite glass designers.. Jenelle and Daniel @ http://www.sortafloweringdesigns.com/pages/etsy.htm
Each are wired wrapped and dangle just below the ribbons.

Earring Length: 1-1/2"
