Earring warm-rain silver-sail with baroque pearl
Eco silver earring, featuring a texture I’ve called warm-rain, ‘silver-sail’ shaped with a large, natural colour, baroque freshwater pearl, suspended below.
One of the techniques I’ve used here is ‘roller printing’ - how I do it is below.
My inspiration for this texture comes from our prevailing westerly winds bringing rain, not all the time but enough to keep our land green and lush, combined with that other watery gem, the pearl, this one is large, natural colour, fresh water, baroque and rather juicy.
Earring Security - Strong hard-silver ear wires with security hook to keep those earrings on your ear thus avoiding that one earring syndrome.
How to wear - These earring dress up the everyday and make special the occasional wear.
Comes in a black box.
Hight 65mm
I use eco silver - recycled in this case, when creating my jewellery.
Made to last - I use strong posts so they don’t bend and break plus, I use extra large heavy weight butterflies making them easier to hold and the earring more secure - helps stop that single earring syndrome!
Packaging - The earrings come in a square black box with black velvet interior, my signature in matt silver is across the front, carefully raffia wrapped..
Techniques -
Roller Printing To create the textures I take a previously etched piece of sheet metal, placing the softened silver sheet on top then pass it though metal rollers transfering the image from the brass plate onto the silver one, which I then use in my designs.
Oxidisation - The silver texture I’ve created has been darkened using liver of sulphur, the darkness is then removed from some areas creating highlights making the texture show up better and have more depth.
Delivery - When I have these earrings in stock I can send out the same day, otherwise please allow a week for making longer if you can, that said I always do have them ready when you need them, just let me know, each pair vary slightly in texture or pearl colour which creates a lovely variety with no two quite the same.
