Black hotsell onyx and Bloodstone earrings

Handmade original design sterling silver drop earrings. The smaller cabochon on the top of the earring is black onyx. The lower cabochon is a dark green bloodstone with small bright red accents, typical of bloodstone. These stones are set in sterling silver and accented with heavy sterling silver wire curls on both sides. The clean geometric lines make a bold and rich statement in silver and stone. They are finished with sterling silver french wires. These earrings are dramatic, but are subtle enough for everyday wear with casual outfits. All of my work is hand polished which leaves a deep luster to the surface of the sterling. They come with complimentary ear wire guards (similar to post backs, but optional to wear with ear wires). The earrings are packaged in a tarnish hotsell resistant bag and an attractive paper box, perfect for gift giving

This handmade set of earrings is produced individually with hand tools.

The process starts with sterling silver sheet that is hand cut with a jeweler's saw. The shapes are refined with hand files and components are assembled and soldered together. The final step is polishing with progressively finer grits to bring out the natural mirror shine characteristic to sterling silver.

All my work and designs are produced either as one-of a kind or are reproduced by me by hand in a limited amount. Each of my pieces takes in the range of 2 to 4 hours to make (this does not including the time it takes to market, ship etc). As with all hand made items by any individual person, my work is a product of my soul and it is my greatest hope that the person who purchases one of my items is as thrilled with the item as I am when I conceived and produced it.
