Welcome to my shop of unique, handmade, glass enamelled jewellery and ornaments.

POSTAGE I send my orders by Royal Mail tracked48 within 3 days of receipt.

Where possible I recycle packaging.

I am happy to consider special requests and commissions. Contact me through folksy.

If you experience any difficulty in placing an order please let me know.

I often receive requests for an animal shape that I cannot source. When I was asked for an otter I offered to do it as a painted enamel. That led me to consider a small selection of other British wildlife. Hence the hedgehogs.

Full description

I made these earwires by first making the white enamel hearts, building up five layers of white enamel over the copper shape. Each layer was fired at 800 degrees centigrade (red hot). I then painted the hedgehogs, using tablets of compressed enamel colours soluble in water, like water-colour paints, and fired the piece again at 800 degrees centigrade. The design is signed with my initials, FH, in painted enamel.

The hearts measure 18mm top to bottom, 18mm at their widest. They are mounted on a silver wires.

The earwires are sold boxed, as shown.

UK delivery is by Royal Mail, first class, signed for.
