I wanted to start working with enamel for quite some time now. I always loved the combination of strong colors and silver. This is my first experiment.
The half sphere on this ring has opened a small gap for us to take a peek inside. The interior is decorated with red/pink enamel. The exterior has a matte rough finish.
silver discolors easily and the reason is sulfur. sulfur occurs in many contexts: in the air, on skin, in the kitchen, painted surfaces, fabrics, plastics, cigarette smoke, fossil fuels, rubber bands, etc.. it's commonly said that silver oxidizes. some people excrete sulfur on the skin.humidity is very important for how fast silver sulphide is growing. the higher the relative humidity in the air, the faster the formation of sulfide. try not to store your silver jewelry in the bathroom.
