These earrings are cut from tapered strips of sterling silver, long and narrow with a slight shift in width that gives them movement. At approximately three inches in length, they feel elongated but remain incredibly lightweight on the ear.
The surface has been oxidized and tumbled to a soft matte finish, bringing subtle highlights back to the raised areas for contrast.
Each piece is finished with scattered strike marks creating a subtle, irregular texture across the surface. The marks are placed by hand, giving the metal a worn-in feel while maintaining the clean, tapered form.
Handmade, one of a kind, in my home studio in Durango, Colorado.
