German Shepherd Earrings - Sterling Silver and Enamel Dog Breed Gift - Puppy Portrait Dangle Jewelry

These earrings feature a hand drawn screen print of a German Shepherd. So regal.

The sterling silver and enamel earrings measure 3/4 of an inch tall with a 1 1/4 inch drop. They come on solid sterling silver french hook ear wires.

To make this piece I start with milled wax, then cast that wax pendant into metal and mold it so I can make multiples. The setting then gets a layer of vitreous enamel (fine glass) and fired at 1400 degrees in a kiln, four separate times, to build strength and color saturation . Finally I take an illustration from my sketchbook, turn it into an enamel screen print, and fire that on the top for a durable, waterproof and vibrant finish. So many steps.

I ship these in a gift box using First Class Mail with tracking.
