Artist: Carol Lehmann Encaustic, Ink and Resin encased in a Silver plated bezel with Stainless Ear Wires. Encaustic jewelry — pieces made with beeswax, damar resin, and pigment fus ed with heat — is durable and long-lasting, but it still requires care to preserve its appearance and integrity. Caring for encaustic jewelry simply requires treating it as fine art, with the primary goal of preventing exposure to extreme heat to preserve the underlying mixed media. Temperature control: Keep your pieces out of hot cars and surfaces (such as heating vents). Encaustic wax will soften or begin to melt at temperatures over 150°F. 5/8" wide x 1 1/2" long Read Carol Lehmann's bio here Show more
