Designed so that light can shine through them, these earrings were inspired by a past family trip to the Sainte-Chapelle in Paris. They were made using a traditional enameling technique called plique à jour, which employs surface tension to hold the glass enamel in each cell before kiln firing. Plique à jour is is an ambitious technique and this pair of earrings exemplifies my artistic process as they were made with an extremely labor intensive, time consuming and hands on process that took me a long time to learn and understand; they are largely geometric and they were inspired by an experience that I had with my family when I was younger.
