My Hamsa Earrings - Finished!

These pieces of etched silver were soaked in glass etching solution for two weeks and brushed twice daily with a glass brush, to get rid of the first attempt at enamel that I didn't like.

Yesterday I had another go - I chose a beautiful deep turquoise (Celeste). The colour came out a bit too deep in my opinion, and looks a bit greenish - but I prefer them to my first attempt, and I'm not going to de-enamel them again, so I am calling these done.

The etching is quite deep so 3 layers of turquoise was just a bit much - I probably should have used some clear enamel instead of the third layer of color.
Live and learn.
