Shah Abbas Pendant, British Musuem

The design is etched into a sheet of sterling silver Each piece is hand sawn, filed and shaped You need to stop, give your arm a rest and have a cuppa! The enamel colours are each ground in in water A selection of enamel colours, washed in purified water The enamel is laid with a quill and the each piece fired in a kiln Very carefully as the kiln is at 1000 degrees C Each piece is then finished, polished and packaged - ready to go! ]]> http://www.kokkino.co.uk/in-the-making/feed/ 0
