Anna’s hummingbird

These little hummingbirds were created from copper sheet and vitreous enamel (powdered glass) and sterling silver findings. All the little details are painted by hand using vitrifiable paints. This pair of earrings took around 10 hours to complete. 

I’ve tried my very best to show their true beauty in these photographs but they are truly better to behold in real life! 

Weight: 2 grams each

Continental Clips are gold filled - these can be swapped for silver if you prefer.

Size (top of ear wire to end of dangle x width): 2.5 x 3.5 cm 

Each element has been sawed, hammered and shaped using traditional metalsmithing techniques. The glass is sifted on and fired with a torch to over 700 degrees. This pair is counter enamelled on the back which takes on an earthier oxidised(darker) appearance due to the nature of torch firing. 

All pieces are cleaned and polished prior to shipping. All items are packaged in a hand painted box which ships inside a larger padded box. Packaging is as earth friendly as possible without compromising on safe delivery.

All items are imperfectly perfect, such is the nature of hand manufacturing. Please don’t hesitate to contact me if you have any questions of require additional photos or videos of a particular piece of work.
