Eco-silver-stem, sea-spray earrings.
Eco Silver-stem hanging earring with sea-spray textured brass disc, inspired by the shapes created by the swirling sea water around the rocks along the Pembrokeshire coast line. I use roller printing to create the texture, how i do it is below, then I oxidise the texture to give it depth and finish off with a fine coating of hard clear wax to keep them looking good.
These earrings wear well with all lengths and colour of hair, giving a little golden flash when they catch the light.
hight 55mm - 2 1/4”

I use eco silver - recycled in this case, when creating my jewellery.
Made to last - I use strong posts so they don’t bend and break plus, I use extra large heavy weight butterflies making them easier to hold and the earring more secure - helps stop that single earring syndrome!
Packaging - The earrings come in a square black box with black velvet interior, my signature in matt silver is across the front, carefully raffia wrapped..
Techniques -
Roller Printing To create the textures I take a previously etched piece of sheet metal, placing the softened silver sheet on top then pass it though metal rollers transfering the image from the brass plate onto the silver one, which I then use in my designs.
Oxidisation - The silver texture I’ve created has been darkened using liver of sulphur, the darkness is then removed from some areas creating highlights making the texture show up better and have more depth.
Delivery - When I have these earrings in stock I can send out the same day, otherwise please allow a week for making longer if you can, that said I always do have them ready when you need them, just let me know, each pair vary slightly in texture or pearl colour which creates a lovely variety with no two quite the same.
