Jewelry Making Projects

Multi-Technique and Enameled PendantMulti-Technique Enameled Pendant
by Cynthia Alderdice and Lois Mansfield
This design combines cloisonné enamel with textured 22K gold sheet, metal clay, the design and creation of custom etching plates, keumboo, and setting faceted and cabochon gemstones. In the first part of this project (offered as a free online download), the artists create the etching plates, etch them, and create the textured metal clay pendant backing. After firing, they use the “tear away” technique — developed by Celie Fago for metal clay surface design — to transfer the same texture to gold.
