Your jewelry is beautiful and I think BoHo is the correct description/style. I have a question. How do you take such amazing photos of your jewelry?

Hey Dianne! I may be wrong but I’m thinking you’re maybe over thinking this! I think most women searching for earrings will search by style such as stud, dangle, clip or color & maybe Boho, Contemporary, antique, etc. I’m not sure people are going to know the style differences between Art Deco, Art Nouveau or other styles by era. I have to refer to a reference list to see the differences. Definitely not an art major! Just my thoughts on this. But it’s ultimately your designs & your decision Share your decision if you will. And, I love enamel & love your creations!

Contemporary enamel, each individually unique!

It looks like molten millefiori
Which can be achieved by fusing onto a a base of fired layer of enamel it also could have a clear layer over that as decorative layer is usually raised but this technique will be close to the millefiori technique

The blue piece looks like a base of a sticker or whatever then resin

It’s hard to tell

Thanks for all the wonderful suggestions. Boho is one of the options I had come up with, it just doesn’t seem to quite nail it. It really reminds me of the lichen growing on the rocks & trees on my walks in the woods. In fact, when I pulled the first ones (earthy colors) out of the kiln, that was my first thought and this nature-lover was excited! I have called it the Lichen Collection on the website, but was looking for keywords and perhaps a more accurate description for naming the collection.

In reply to Claudia. Boho is an abbreviation for Bohemian Homeless. Bohemian is well, think 60's hippy. Boho-Chic is a style that is a little more ostentatious than my designs, although it has the earthy, organic feel to it that is very similar. As far as "style", it's the closest I've found in my month of research.

When I looked at your website I thought of “Elements” (as in air, earth, fire and water) as a collection name. It continues the nature theme and gets across something of the nature of these enameled pieces.

Nice earrings! If I were “looking” for earrings on-line, I would first search for dangle or drop earrings, then Boho earrings, then perhaps color: blue dangle earrings, green Boho style earrings, orange, etc. I don’t think many people would make a search for “enamel” earrings or “torch enameled” earrings for instance.

What does “Boho” or ” Bohemian” actually mean?

In reply to Judith. Thanks! Just for description to name the collection.

These are beautiful! I agree with the comments, organic, boho, colorful are the words that come to mind.

If I was searching I would yes, crackled natural stone

Handmade enameling on copper. Each piece created for you.

I, too, was thinking “Bohemian”

They look very earthy, natural, organic and artisan to me. These are the feelings I get from them. If using one of these words doesn’t work, the closest “style” word that comes closest is Boho. They are very beautiful and unique!

By: Judith

Judith — Tue, 30 Jul 2019 17:00:06 +0000

They’re really beautiful! and hard to pigeonhole as they are original. A little more info about them might help. Are they inspired by nature, Art Nouveau, or anything else? They made me think of William Morris prints (Arts and Crafts style) but I don’t know how helpful that is for jewelry. Also, do you need a style to fit into an Etsy category or just to describe your work to others?

They are lovely: I would call them Bohemian Droplets

By: Malone Guthrie

Malone Guthrie — Tue, 30 Jul 2019 15:16:14 +0000

I would put the words ‘mille feuille’ in there somewhere (pronounced meel foy). It means a thousand layers or leaves, flowers etc.

By: Katie Kremer

Katie Kremer — Tue, 30 Jul 2019 14:05:05 +0000

I have an Etsy shop, and at first i wracked my brain over descriptions! I would definitely put yours under the Boho category, then refine them down from there as others suggested- enameled, torch-enameled, etc

In reply to Jane Jennings. "Boho" was exactly the word that came to my mind.

By: Rena Klingenberg

Rena Klingenberg — Tue, 30 Jul 2019 13:55:33 +0000

Dianne, back before I knew much about jewelry, I probably would have done an online search for “pink earrings”, “lime green earrings”, etc. by color.

Yes, boho, it’s huge right now too!

By: Dianne Jacques

Dianne Jacques — Tue, 30 Jul 2019 13:03:50 +0000

In reply to Jane Jennings. I agree, most people don't search for the materials, or even know them. Boho is surely an option, thanks!

By: Dianne Jacques

Dianne Jacques — Tue, 30 Jul 2019 13:02:09 +0000

In reply to sue. Thanks Sue, I'm trying to name the collection so looking more for style.

By: Dianne Jacques

Dianne Jacques — Tue, 30 Jul 2019 13:00:51 +0000

In reply to Jane Rienks. I can see that too. Kind of reminds me of lichen. It's the whole "collection name" struggle.

By: Jane Jennings

Jane Jennings — Tue, 30 Jul 2019 12:23:42 +0000

I would call this boho. I don’t think people are going to be searching for enamel, and they don’t care what they are made of. ” Boho” fits the style people might search for.

By: Melissa

Melissa — Tue, 30 Jul 2019 11:41:23 +0000

Lovely – It reminds me of Art Nouveau. There may be some words used to describe that style of art that help you?

By: sue

sue — Tue, 30 Jul 2019 11:30:20 +0000

That looks like crackle enamel, or separation enamel. Basically I would call it enameled earrings. If you fire it with a torch you could call it torch fired enamel earrings

Organic Enamel?

By: Jane Rienks

Jane Rienks — Tue, 30 Jul 2019 11:09:18 +0000

The style looks organically abstract, very beautiful….but I understand why you are having problems with naming. The patterns reminds me of stained microscope sections of cells.

By: Dawn

Dawn — Tue, 30 Jul 2019 11:00:40 +0000

I would say enameled jewelry
