Spiral-whisper eco-silver stud earrings with rainbow-moonstone.
Round silver studs featuring my spiral-whisper texture, domed with light-catching blue rainbow-moonstone cabochon 8mm x 6mm.
This texture has been oxidised (darkened) to make the spiral texture deeper and just more so.
How I created this texture is shown lower down the page.
Inspired by my visits to my nearby sea and rock pooling, the way the rainbow moonstone catches the light is so reminiscent of sparkles on the water on a warm sunny day.
People who would like these have an affinity with nature, rainbow moonstones, real things, contemporary jewellery that lasts.
Goes well with shorter hair, makes jeans look posh.
Delivered in a square black box with a black velvet interior.
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.
