Star Chart Earrings

Combining drawing and painting with texturing and patterning, these enamel earrings feature cartography-like imagery. Built up with many thin layers of glass and pigment, drawn or sifted on by hand and fused in a kiln, the multilayered enamel surfaces highlight the saturated color and luminosity of glass, creating a sense of depth and mystery. Using the centuries-old technique of enameling on metal alongside contemporary enamel methods, each piece is created with the intention of producing richly surfaced, artistically expressive, and technically innovative contemporary art jewelry. Sterling silver ear wires.
