Planning a Cloisonne enamel piece
Preparing the metal
I start by cutting out my shapes and annealing them. This softens the silver to make it easier to print on with my roller.
Choosing stones
I chose these beautiful Rhodolite Garnets for these earrings. The deep warm red suits the Autumnal feel of the leaf skeleton pattern.
Making componants
Its easier when making a series to make the componants in batches. you can check out my Instagram for some fun stop motion videos I made with these too.
The finished piece
These bold but delicate earrings swing gently like leaves in a cool Autumn breeze.
