Deep turquoise enamel with 3 dark grey oxidised silver free-form loops. The main enamelled detail has been textured by hand with punches that show through the rich, transparent, glossy enamel. Enamelled section measures 2 x 2cm. The nature of the techniques used mean each piece is unique and no two pieces are identical. Ancient technique of Basse-taille enamelling with a contemporary design. Lots of movement when worn. Hook earwires.

Cleaning Instructions
Enamel can be washed in warm soapy water if it becomes dirty. A little vaseline can be applied to all pieces to help enhance oxidisation and enamel colour. Vitreous enamel is glass and although pieces are fairly hard wearing, care should be taken not to apply force or scratch the surface. Oxidisation will come off with silverdip, abrasion or household chemicals e.g bleach. Store in a box in acid free tissue as provided.
