Soft turquoise vitreous enamel with 3 dark grey oxidisedlong loops inspired by colours, shapes and textures found along the coastline.
The main enamelled detail has been textured with punches in a shoal like pattern that shows through the transparent, turquoise-teal enamel.
One side of the stud top has been left unenamelled which contrasts beautifully with the jewel-like enamel.
Stud measures 18 x 19 mm approx.
The handmade techniques used in making means each piece is unique and no two pieces are identical.
The enamel is gloss finished. Ancient technique of Basse-taille with contemporary design. Lots of movement when worn.
Length 70mm. Unique, statement earrings.

Cleaning Instructions
Enamel can be washed in hand hot, soapy water and dried with a soft tissue.
Vitreous enamel is glass and although pieces are fairly hardwearing, care should be taken not to apply force or scratch the surface.
Oxidisation can wear off with rubbing through wear, silver dip, abrasion or household chemical e.g. bleach.
When not worn keep piece wrapped in acid free tissue paper (provided) to help prevent tarnishing.
