Enamel dangle earrings Beech leaf autumn

These small earrings are designed with autumn beech leaves. The appearance of green leaves gradually turning red is represented by a delicate gradation of transparent plique-a-jour enamel burned onto a gold-plated silver base. You will enjoy these colorful earrings that shine as brightly as the autumn leaves shining through the backlight. About Plique-a-jour enamels. Plique-a-jour is a technique in which enamel glaze is fired inside a metal frame cut out in the shape of a openwork. It requires a very high level of skill because the enamel can peel off or crack due to the thermal expansion of the glaze during firing or due to the temperature difference after the kiln is removed. Because the enamel is held in place by only a small amount of base metal at the edges, beautiful effects are created when light is allowed to penetrate, as in the use of stained glass. This technique, in which the glaze is repeatedly fired to fill in the spaces, is created by a highly advanced openwork technique that creates patterns with delicate lines, and a painstaking process of repeatedly firing and polishing the glaze to create the desired color.
