Circular Yellow Enamel Earrings

Item Description:

Enameled copper circles with sterling silver earwires. Yellow, red, and black enamel is interspersed with translucent sections that display the copper underneath, leaving these earrings with a unique depth and texture. 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.
