I make all the components for these from recycled 925 sterling silver.
I use 1.2mm wire to form and cut rings, which I then solder closed, lightly hammering both sides for extra sparkle.
Then I solder 0.8 wire to the circles, and send them for a polish in my tumbler.
Finally, using natural gemstone beads and fine silver wire, I string and wire wrap gemstones within the hoops.
This design gives great security due to the length of the earwire, and is ideal for people who like a drop but not a dangle ;-)
This pair with natural turquoise were a commission for a local customer, and the black diamond nuggets at the end are a pending commission and are reserved for JdB
You are ordering a pair that I'll be making to order, using gemstones of your choice, from the list below and will be made to order within a week.
Other 2 mm gemstones that would work brilliantly – (see the full list below) - faceted options are blue lapis, pale blue aquamarine, golden labradorite, black spinels, and the smooth are garnets, rock crystal, peridot, denim iolite plus I have some faceted multicoloured sapphires (the diamonds and sapphires incur a small surcharge)
I have many other stones I can use if you have a birthstone or specific gem you'd prefer.**
Total drop from piercing of 29 - 32mm (approx) See individual photos for the slight variances, which relate to the length of the earwires
All the sterling is recycled.
I've listed these as pairs, but I am very happy to sell you just one, or mix and match a pair if you'd like, or make you a pair of differing lengths. Just contact me. If you would like a bespoke pair, with Argentium earwires please contact me, as I'll be happy to make a pair just for you.
**see other listings for others I have ready for dispatch, and message me if you have a colour or a stone you'd like - I've made these to match outfits for a number of people.
Notes:
I only use natural light and take all pictures in my home, so I have used a variety of backgrounds to help display the colouration and avoid your disappointment.
I've shown a couple of pairs I've made to order, and the remaining gemstone options - make your choice at check out. They will be made to order within about a week
