Square Enamel Pin by Carly Wright
Emerald tones.
The process begins by transferring a design onto tissue paper which is glued to a thin sheet of sterling silver. The outside edges of the piece are cut to the specifications of the design and accents. The Silver is oxidized to a steely gray color by dipping it into a malodorous solution of Liver of Sulfur. Then rubbed with pumice or steel wool to burnish it to a soft glow.
Pin measures approx. 1 1/2"w x 1 1/4"h.
