About this product-Terracotta Earrings
Terracotta jewellery is one of the oldest forms of jewellery in the world. Terracotta is an Italian word which means “cooked earth”. Today the Terracotta jewellery makes exotic dressing style when worn with both traditional and new age fashion.
Terracotta jewellery has changed its style from traditional shapes like god, animals to contemporary look by using abstruct shapes, design and charming colour keeping your fashion in mind.
Terracotta earrings is a very flexible material to sculpt. Pieces can be formed by both an “additive” technique, adding portions of clay to the growing pieces, or a “subtractive” one, carving into a solid lump with a knife or similar tool. Perhaps most common is a combination of these, building up the broad shape and then removing pieces, or adding more, to produce details.
The most common method of production is to take an appropriate refined clay, then form it to the desired shape. Alternatively it may be made with one or more moulds. After drying, it is placed in a kiln or atop combustible material in a pit, and then fired. The typical firing temperature is around 1,000 °C (1,830 °F), though it may be as low as 600 °C (1,112 °F) in historic and archaeological examples. The iron content, reacting with oxygen during firing, gives the fired body a reddish color, though the overall color varies widely across shades of yellow, orange, buff, red, “terracotta”, pink, grey or brown.
A final method is to carve fired bricks or other terracotta shapes. This is less common, but features for example in the Architecture of Bengal on Hindu temples and mosques.
Terracotta can be made by pouring or pressing the mix into a plaster or sandstone mold, clay can be hand carved, or mix can be extruded into a mold using specialized machines. Clay shrinks as it dries from water loss therefore all molds are made slightly larger than the required dimensions. After the desired green-ware, or air dried, shape is created it is fired in a kiln for several days where it shrinks even further. The hot clay is slowly cooled then hand finished. The ceramics are shipped to the project site where they are installed by local contractors. The hollow pieces are partially backfilled with mortar then placed into the wall, suspended from metal anchors, or hung on metal shelf angles.Terracotta can be made by pouring or pressing the mix into a plaster or sandstone mold, clay can be hand carved, or mix can be extruded into a mold using specialized machines.
