Machu Picchu Earrings No.493

These earrings are hand fabricated and then cast in sterling silver. The enamel is inlaid and fired several times in a kiln, building up multiple fine layers to achieve a rich coloration. After firing is complete, the enamel is ground off of the exposed silver surfaces. The sterling is oxidized, steel brushed, and rubbed with pumice, and the enamel is etched to a matte finish. 1.5"L, .4"W.

Surgical steel ear wire.
