Encaustic Necklace

Artist: Carol Lehmann

Encaustic, Ink and Resin encased in a Silver Plated Bezel. 

Encaustic jewelry — pieces made with beeswax, damar resin, and pigment fused 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.

1/2" wide x 2 1/2" tall pendant on a 20" Sterling chain
