Jenny Walker: Enamel Necklace

This enamel necklace is elegant and simple. Made by St. Louis local, Jenny Walker, this piece goes with everything! 

"I work with vitreous enamel which is the china like color you see in my work. It is powdered glass which I sift onto the metal shapes and fire in a kiln at 1400 degrees in very small batches. I fire each individual piece a minimum of three times with layers of enamel to achieve a more variegated appearance. My aim is to mimic colors and textures found in nature and let the variable nature of firing glass in a kiln be what makes each piece one of a kind."
