These earrings just glow with Autumnal beauty. I enameled the eco friendly fine silver Viburnum leaves with shades of green, yellow and burnet orange. I topped the leaves with clusters of Ethiopian opal, tsavorite garnets, and carved peridot leaves. They hand from sterling silver lever back ear wires.
They measure 48 mm x 15 mm, or just under 2 inches long
A note on precious metal clay: ArtClay silver is a recycled product that consists of fine silver particles suspended in an organic binder. The clay can be worked like other forms of clay, sculpted to almost any shape you desire. The product is then fired at an extremely high temperature, either by kiln or torch. The binder burns away resulting in a pure silver (.999) piece. The silver is reclaimed from such sources as 35mm film and medical and industrial leftovers. No strip mining necessary.
