  • The butterfly shape is comprised of copper, and has glass vitreous enamel carefully applied to both front and back of the piece by firing in a kiln. This process ensures that all pieces are one of a kind.

    Firing process: Vitreous enamel, also called porcelain enamel, is a material made by fusing powdered glass to a substrate by firing, usually between 750 and 850 °C (1,380 and 1,560 °F). The powder melts, flows, and then hardens to a smooth, durable vitreous coating.

    Technique: Painting with powdered enamel. The image on front of the butterfuly is created by delicately appling vitreous enamel (powdered glass, mixed with a binder oil) and then fired to fuse the glasses. It can produce brilliant and long-lasting colours, and be transparent, translucent or opaque. Generally the desired colours only appear when the piece is fired.

    Size: Butterfly is 1 3/4" inches wide and 1 1/4" inches tall. Silver chain is 16" inches long.

    Care & Cleaning: This product cleans best with a damp cloth on the butterfly and a jewelry cloth can be used to polish the chain.
