Turquoise Enamel Drops

I spent yesterday doing enamel colour tests.... Then I made these. Transparent turquoise on silver, then oxidised (I like long drops).

Silver and enamel drop earrings

  4. Thanks for all your lovely comments!
    I soldered the jump rings on first, then enamelled - it's the first time I've tried enamelling on soldered pieces and there was no problem at all. I even forgot you were supposed to use hard solder and used easy solder by mistake. It didn't seem to affect the solder joint even though I enamelled at a higher temperature than the solder. Maybe it was just beginner's luck? :-)
