Description: These earrings recall magnified images of butterfly wings, with little grids of shimmer and light. They showcase numerous enamel techniques, using firescale to create color, bass-taille (a shallow texture on the metal), break through enamel, and transparent green enamel. In keeping with Tina’s earrings, they are very lightweight and include hypoallergenic niobium ear wires.
Materials: Copper, niobium ear wires (hypoallergenic), traditional glass enamel
Dimensions: About 1.5” from top to bottom, about 1” wide
