California Poppies with Turquoise

The state flower of California, the beautiful orange flower grows wildly all over the state. These light as air earrings glow with the sun and feature small turquoise stones. Turquoise stones will vary from pair to pair in both shape and shade of blue.

 

WORKMANSHIP:

Painstakingly crafted using an ancient technique called plique à jour, which means “letting in daylight,” this stunning piece of wearable art mixes traditional, timeless styles with a modern twist. It’s like wearing a tiny, beautiful stained glass window on your ears.

Unlike mass market jewelry that falls apart after a few wears, the handcrafted nature of these earrings makes them an heirloom quality, signature piece.

After sawing out the design shape and inner cut outs from a thick sheet of pure sterling silver,  I fill the open cells with transparent powdered glass (enamel), fire each piece in a kiln to set the enamel, then carefully set the turquoise stone in place. 

Includes free silver polishing pad with order.
