About this Product
These asymmetrical, hand carved sterling silver earrings are richly accented with gold. The organically shaped drop earrings have pure, 22 karat gold overlay and the handcrafted sterling silver ear wires are embellished with tiny circles of 14 karat gold. The textural carved designs are rustically finished with black patina. The overall look is artistic and boho.
One of a kind.
The earrings measure about 3/4 x 5/8 inches (19x16mm). Together with the ear wires they hang about 1 1/4 inches (32mm).
They are marked on the back with my maker's mark and the quality mark for sterling.

Meet the Maker
I am a craftsperson making artfully hand-carved sterling silver jewelry. I make jewelry for art lovers. My work is modern, free-spirited and uncommon. When you purchase a piece from me, you are getting a special treasure to enjoy for years to come.
My background as a graphic designer influences everything I create. Carving, line, shape and texture are always at the forefront. Each piece is individually hand carved, imparting a richness of pattern and texture. Because of the nature of hand-carving, my jewelry has a special uniqueness-- no two pieces will ever be exactly alike!
Some fun facts: I started designing and making silver jewelry in 2008, and began selling my work in 2009. I have made over 3000 pieces since then! I'm a Rio Grande certified artisan in metal clay and have achieved level one of the Metal Clay Masters Registry (https://metalclaynow.com/index.php/gallery/masters-registry). I'm also a graduate of Paier School of Art and have worked all my life as a designer. My jewelry collections have been represented in shops and galleries across the United States.
My studio practices are eco-friendly. I use non-toxic and recycled materials whenever possible. I care about our earth and the health of all beings.
Pieces are offered in solid sterling silver or sterling silver accented with a pure, 22 karat gold overlay that is hand-applied.
My work has been featured in Art Jewelry Magazine, Arts and Crafts Homes Magazine, Professional Artist Magazine, Metal Clay Artist Magazine, and the books Behind the Brooch and The Upcyclers USA - 21 Eco Folks.

How it’s Made
When I was making the sterling silver ear wires for these unique earrings, I decided to add some gold embellishment to them. I melted 14k gold wire until it formed a ball. I then hammered the ball flat, forming an organically shaped circle. Next, I soldered the gold onto the ear wire, then soldered the wire to the back of the earring. Repeat the process for the other earring, and you have one of a kind earrings!
