The mosaic series started my jewelry making adventure in 2005. The stones are handmade from white earthenware clay, that are made to fit a sterling silver bezel. I do the soldering with a butane torch. The stones are carved, fired and glued into the settings. At that point, they are grouted, painted with oils and then sealed with a matte varnish. Pendants hang from an 18″ 2mm black rubber cord with a sterling silver clasp. Earrings vary in length depending on the bezel shape. They hang from handmade sterling silver ear wires. All of the pieces in this series are light and durable. Click into the gallery to see the stone/bezel measurements.
