Forged Sterling Silver Hoop Earrings

Here is a pair of earrings that I made for my Etsy store recently. I have forged these earrings to create their shape, texture and ear wires. I will make some more variations of these in the upcoming weeks. These earrings measure approximately 1.5" in diameter.

Arch Earrings

Here are a couple of earrings I made that are similar to a design I saw somewhere in a book. I have made both of them in sterling silver and both designs have a 5 mm diameter onyx bead. The dark coil that is added on one set is made from 26 gauge oxidized sterling silver. These earrings are approximately 2 inches long and I have them listed for sale on my Etsy store.

Thuja cones in sterling silver

Here are some earrings and a pendant that were made from the cones of a tree known as Thuja or Arborvitae, specifically these are from the Thuja occidentalis, which you can read more about here. These cones were used to cast these one of a kind pieces in sterling silver using the 'lost wax' process. All jewelry that I make with these is unique, as a different cone is used in each piece which accounts for small differences in size and shape.

Sterling Silver and Chrysoprase Earrings

These earrings were made as gift earlier this year. The earrings were constructed from sterling silver with a hammered finish and set with chrysoprase stones. The earrings were designed to have hand made french wires that attach them to the wearer's ear, but can be made with a post earring if desired. Email if interested in ordering.
