Sterling Silver Hummingbird lever back earrings by Nicole Barr. The red and the green enamel are applied using the Champlevé technique. Champlevé-A French word for “raised field”. One year warranty Returns and exchanges for 30 days on silver jewelry.
In champlevé the artist removes the silver by cutting, hammering or stamping in order to create a depression which will then receive the melted glass. As the enamel is laid in the recessed areas of the silver, it is built up in layers until it reaches the same height as the remaining silver. The silver has been rhodium plated to be hypo-allergenic and tarnish free.
