Daria SalusJewelry
Daria Salus has been working with small metals for over two decades, now working in Santa Cruz California but always inspired by nature! She hand fabricates all work using techniques like photo etching, embossing, forming, enameling, and bezel setting.
The process used to create her images in enamel is her own unique version of the basse-taille technique. It involves a photo-etching process, and the application of an underglaze to set off the etched image in black. She then uses transparent enamels to add color to the piece while allowing the image to show through. Many of Daria’s images come from photos she has taken herself. |
