Trees at night enamel jewellery set

Description

I’ve made trees at night enamel jewellery set using vitreous enamel, silver and copper. I have made this set using cloisonne technique. This set is all about trees at night.

To make this  enamel jewellery set, first, I made a copper blank and counter-enamelled it. Then, I added a layer of enamel, fused fine silver foil on it and added enamel layers to the foil. The enamel coat on the pieces’ back and suraface is the result of applying several layers of enamel grains. I have bended and shaped the silver wires, and fused them on the basecoat enamel on the blank. Then, I start filling the created cells using enamel coats. After applying each layer, I fire the pieces in my kiln at around 785 degrees celsius. After grinding and polishing the enamel, I set it in sterling silver.

The height of the pendant is about 5 cm (from bail). Enamel measures approximately 2.7cm in diameter. The chain necklace is made from oxidized sterling silver, and measures 50-51cm in length.

The diameter of the stud earrings is about 2.2cm
