Angela Gerhard torch-fired enamel to copper to make Squared Violet Brooch/Pendant.
The enameled panels are riveted to the sterling silver base. “Pieces
are torch-fired simply because I enjoy the process of watching the
enamel melt and fuse to the metal,” she says. “It is magical.” The
brooch is 13⁄4 in. (44 mm). This piece appeared in the May 2008 issue
of Art Jewelry.
