Torch Fired Enamel - NEW!

I love to enamel, but I don't have $1000 for a new kiln. So the only option left for me is torch fire.
There are inherent problems with using enamel in jewelry.
The edges must be protected from damage due to being brutal to your loved piece. Enamel is glass after all and will chip and crack if abused, (lets face it all jewelry gets abused to some extent).
So I needed a design which was both beautiful and practical for everyday wear. So I came up with the Double Dome Pendant. The bottom dome is super shiny, and the top one is enameled. I plan on making a line of these pendants of all different colors. And we will see where this leads me .
