Small Sterling Silver Oval Matte Finish Earrings with Linear Texture
Small Sterling Silver Oval Matte Finish Earrings with Linear Texture
These sterling silver earrings began with a sheet of silver. First I cut a circle from the sheet, then put it through a rolling mill to lengthen it into an oval. I added a linear texture using a handmade stamp, domed the shape for dimension. I darkened the silver to accent the texture and the wire, and then gave the half-oval shape a matte finish using sandpaper. The ear wires are hypo-allergenic niobium.
The earrings hang 1 1/4" (3.2cm) from the top of the ear wire to the bottom of the earring. They are about 1/2" (1.3cm) wide.
I have other earrings with the same texture, as well as coordinating pendants.
Please allow for minor differences from the photos, as each piece is completely handmade.
