Urban Nights Series

Enamel on copper with gold and silver cloisonne wires & gold foil / set into silver

The enamel method for the new pendant range is a mixture of cloisonne with free form techniques. Although the pendants are produced as a series, each individual enamel section is a totally unique "one off" and will not be repeated. Currently the pallet is black and white, with associated themes, but more colourways are planned !
