Amanita muscaria, commonly known as the fly agaric or fly amanita, is a basidiomycete of the genus Amanita. It is also a muscimol mushroom.  

The technique cloisonne enamel makes up the pictorial portion of this necklace. It entails carefully bending pure pure gold ribbons of wire and fusing them to a pure silver surface with clear enamel. The following layers of enamel are colored and can take 10 to 35 firings in a kiln depending on complexity of the design. 24 karat gold and pure silver foils are fired into the layers to create a shimmering effect. After all the firings are complete the enamel jewel is sanded down so the wires are flush to the glass. The next step is the enamel jewel is sanded to a high polish, which gives a gorgeous effect of depth and translucency to the glass enamel.  

*The Aminita Mushroom is set in sterling silver, 18k gold with a faceted Aquamarine with is March’s birthstone. 

*Measurements: 1”L x 3/4”ish W
