Spring Dew--Unique Enamel and Mixed Metal Studs

Spring Dew--Unique Enamel and Mixed Metal Studs
Inspired by the delicate patterns and quiet beauty of water droplets and morning dew, these unique handmade stud earrings combine etched brass, textured silver, copper, and layered enamel into a small piece of wearable art.
The brass elements feature an original hand-drawn design that was transferred and etched into the metal using acrylic paint markers as a resist. Each piece was then textured and finished to bring out the organic, weathered quality of the pattern.
The enamel pieces are inspired by droplets of water and were created using carefully layered liquid and transparent enamels. The layers were built up using a sgraffito technique, allowing the colors and textures beneath to emerge through the surface. The finished enameled copper pieces are bezel set in hand-fabricated silver.
The combination of cool silver, warm brass, and luminous blue-green enamel gives these earrings an earthy yet elegant quality. They are small enough for everyday wear but have plenty of handmade detail to discover up close.
