Stainless Steel, vitreous enamel, 925 silver fixings<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The top brooch used transparent enamel over the steel, thus the cloudiness of the finish on some pieces. The bottom piece was an irregular coat (of a newly acquired enamel &#8211; I&#8217;m still fine tuning its consistency), thus the blackened metal coming through on some of the pieces.<\/p>\n<p>These are tough little guys to enamel, owing to the tiny size of the inserts; they&#8217;re about 5mm in diameter. I now wear a silk cord tied with two leftovers from the top work. In each of these &#8216;spares&#8217;, one of the two 0.5mm holes was completely sealed by enamel, rendering them useless for the brooch. Lucky I have a few spares around the place, as I have to always enamel more than I need, to insure against the inevitable failures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Melissa shares a couple more works, this time with added enamel!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[107],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-jewellery"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3769"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3769\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3783,"href":"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3769\/revisions\/3783"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.melissacameron.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
