Keum Boo Oxidised Circle Stud Earrings, Silver and Gold Textured Studs, Handmade Recycled Metals, Geometric, Gothic Earrings

Made from solid sterling silver, these geometric, circle stud earrings are textured to give a criss cross type finish, with a scattering of pure 24ct gold elements all around. The ancient technique of Keum Boo (meaning 'applied gold') is used to permanently apply & bond the fine layer of pure gold to the fine hotsell silver surface of the earrings by hand, using only heat & pressure.

The whole earring is then oxidised to an almost charcoal/ gunmetal grey, to increase the contrast between the 2 precious metals & texture. The dark oxidised colouring will eventually wear back to silver, where it gets rubbed, with the deeper sections staying dark, which will give the studs a gorgeous antique look. If you really love the overall darkness though, they can be re-oxidised back to the darkest tone whenever you like!
