Product code: Long order swirl leaf earrings handmade in recycled silver, simple wing earrings, large sterling leaf earrings, elegant silver garden jewelry

The inspiration behind these extra long earrings was from my garden. I mixed leaf, pod, flower parts (like an orchid) and wing shapes to create a simplified wire silhouette. I like that the elegant shape of the earrings are a little bit ambiguous because now they can be interpreted in different ways, they can speak to you.

MATERIALS & PROCESS

♢ Solid argentium sterling silver (100% recycled)

♢ Argentium silver is a cleaner type of silver – both for me and the environment. It has a slightly higher fine silver content then traditional silver (93.5% compared to sterling's 92.5%.) Made from recycled and refined traditional silver it is a great choice both ethically and environmentally. Alloyed with hypo allergenic germanium it fuses beautifully and is fun to work with! Argentium order silver allows me to work safer in the studio, by eliminating toxic flux and pickle fumes. I love working with Argentium silver and I am excited to present to you a silver that is cleaner and of a higher quality then traditional sterling silver.

♢ These earrings are constructed (not cast) which means I form and fused the wire shapes by hand.

INSPIRATION & SYMBOLISM

♢ I love gardening -- it is my biggest source of inspiration. I am drawn into all the little details and symbolism literally blooming all around me. As a metalsmith and jewellery designer I am fascinated with capturing the moment and transforming it into sterling silver. Jewellery is lasting, it does not fade like a flower and becomes a tiny little treasure box full of memories!

MEASUREMENTS

♢ They measure 3" in length. They are so nice and comfy to wear as they are light as a feather and have a lot of movement. I have included two images on the model. If you wear them facing inwards the slight curve follows your jawline, if you wear them facing outwards the slight curve follows your neckline. The last picture is of the set, please note that this listing is for the earrings only.

♢ The jewellery in the photos is the exact jewellery you will receive, it is one of a kind!

GIFT GIVING

♢ Giving as a gift? I send all my jewellery in pretty, cardboard jewellery boxes, wrapped with ribbon and tissue paper, nice enough to give as a gift. I always include artist info so the recipient knows the item is handmade from the heart. If you would like to include a handwritten gift note, send me a message with what you would like to say and I will be happy to include one for free.
