Warm-rain verdigris drop earrings
Warm-rain eco-silver ellipse, with blue/green verdigris on brass drop earrings.
The soft naturally forming blue/green colours over the sea-spray textured discs are reminders of the sea and skies of Pembrokeshire, teamed up with the warm-rain texture to give a full picture of our beautiful green and lush land.
These earrings look good with long or short hair and this soft turquoise colour goes with everything, dress them up or down as you like.
People who would like these earrings are nature lovers, being outdoors, lounging on the beach, scrambling over rocks or hiding from the warm rain in a cafe.

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.
Verdigris - Created by the interaction of a chemical applied individually to the brass or copper disc with a brush, in this case brass, gradually building up layers to create this bluey green surface verdigris, it is then sealed with wax for protection.
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.
