Hand-formed silver earrings constructed through a continuous curved line. The form maintains an open structure, with emphasis on balance between negative space and material weight.
Material:
sterling silver. both earring & post
Dimensions:
approx. 2 inches in length
Weight:
lightweight
Process:
The wire is annealed to soften the metal, then shaped by hand into a continuous arc. The curvature is adjusted incrementally to achieve proportion and stability. After shaping, the metal is work-hardened, filed, and progressively sanded. The surface is finished and polished by hand to a reflective finish.
Construction:
continuous wire; open-form structure
Care
Each piece is intended to be worn and maintained with care. To preserve the integrity of the metal, avoid prolonged exposure to water, moisture, and chemicals, and store in a dry environment when not in use.
Brass and sterling silver will naturally develop surface variation over time. A soft polishing cloth may be used to gently restore brightness as desired.
Each purchase includes a storage pouch or jewelry box, along with a polishing cloth for ongoing care and maintenance.
Design
Built around the idea of continuity, the collection uses uninterrupted line and open construction to create movement within rigid material.
