About this Product
These sterling silver double dangle earrings have unique radiating lines carved patterns. A small top square piece is connected to a domed, open circle shape. Accentuated with a patch of 22 karat gold vermeil overlay, they are elegant and contemporary. Hanging from sterling silver ear wires, they are lightweight, easy to wear statement earrings.
They are finished with a black patina to enhance the carved details, and marked on the back with my maker's mark.
They measure about 1 x 1 1/2 inches (25x38mm). Together with the ear wire they hang about 2 inches (50mm).

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
To give the bottom pieces a domed shape, I used what is called a dapping block. This is a two-part tool: the steel block has the cupped shapes, and the matching punch has a steel ball. I lay the silver circle on the block, then use the punch to hammer into it, creating a nice, domed effect.
