Diamond Abstract Swirl Enamel Earrings

Item Description:

Diamond shaped earrings are painted enamel on copper with sterling silver earrwires. Soft blue and yellow with a touch of red and abstract swirls adorn these earrings with a painterly touch. Enameling is the process of fusing glass on metal. A layer of glass in the form of powder is applied to a piece of metal and heated until the glass flows to form a smooth glossy surface. Lise then uses a kiln at a temperature of about 1475 F. She applies many layers of enamel on each piece of copper and places the piece in the kiln between each layer of enamel. Lise loves trying color combinations with enamels and achieving a sense of playfulness in her work.

About the Artist:

Lise's designs focus on form, movement, balance, texture and simplicity. She transforms the sheet and wire of precious metal into a sculpture for the human body. Using the traditional metalsmithing tools such as hammers, torch, files and pliers, rolling mill, she hand-fabricates all parts of every piece. Her jewelry is primarily sculptural, modern and organic.
