This method is a handmade process allowing the development of an image by combining chemical dye and sunlight. The invention of this method is attributed to John Frederick William Hershel, an astronomer, and physicist, who introduced cyanotypes in the 1800s. The term 'cyanotype' is derived from the Greek κυάνεος - kuáneos, “dark blue” + τύπος - túpos, “mark, impression, type”. In contrast to traditional photography using silver salt, cyanotypes implement a slow-reacting formulation containing iron salt resulting in the illustrious Prussian Blue colour upon exposure to near-ultraviolet and blue light.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis set consists of one pair of large statement earrings and a necklace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach item from my shop will be sent to you in individually designed handmade packaging with a description tag.
