Elvie's dog and cat enamel on copper jewelry is a popular item with our customers. Her work is completely handmade with great attention to detail. Think of these pins, earrings and necklaces as miniature paintings made with copper instead of canvas and glass instead of paint.
Designs are cut from metal by hand and the enamel is drawn and painted on in many separate applications. The process is very time consuming and exacting. Pieces are fired at least six times and they must be filed and cleaned with each firing. The result is a unique finely crafted work of art.

Her dog pieces include Golden Retrievers in bandannas or carrying a red leash, Westies, Welsh Corgies, Cocker Spaniels and Jack Russell's. For the cat lovers there are orange tabbies, black and white cats, and grey ones - all in whimsical positions and situations. Fun and colorful jewelry for the pet lover on your list.
