Nerikomi Porcelain Earrings- colorful dangle earrings #1-17

Listing is for one pair, choose your favorite. Silver toned ear wires are argentium silver, black are niobium.
The dangles are made from colored porcelain. I first made several different colors of porcelain by mixing in mason stains to my white porcelain clay and wedge to completely incorporate the stains. I cut and layer these colored and white clays in a stack to make the multicolored "brick" of clay. This is a Japanese process called Nerikomi. I thinly sliced the clay and cut out shapes from the patterned clay.
The backs are unglazed. Some have a high temp wire loop I've added to the clay while wet.

The black earrings are porcelain I've made black with stains.

Some of these have 24K gold luster accents, this process requires a 3rd kiln firing to fuse the luster to the glaze.
