These are your inner mermaid's earrings. Bring her out. She wants to splash in the sun.
Sterling silver: hammered, fused, oxidized, brushed, tumbled, hammered some more....
Man made sea glass (I am drawn to authentic sea glass... I have these beads as I love the color, the organic shape, the texture, and these are usually more matchable in pairs than natural sea glass...of course there still is variation but not as much so a pair can be formed and not throw your balance off :-) hangs from handformed hooks. Suspended from the olivey green, glowing glass is a circular outline/hoop. Suspended from the hoop are long, elegant lengths of seaweed.
Seaweed "fringe" is formed by hand, fused, hammered, oxidized, sanded, and then selectively burnished by hand allowing a bit of a feeling of "sea water glistening in the sun as you boost yourself onto a hidden rock in the cove".... This is aided by the lightness of the fringe- the individual pieces are light enough that they move gently. Undulating like seaweed just below the surface.
These are extremely long earrings (just like their description :-) and they hang 4" from your piercing. They are also- due to the positioning of the glass and the crafting of the sterling silver components- extremely lightweight and carefree. These are no more weighty or hefty than tiny dangles. (I make quite a few smaller earrings and I can't stop marveling over the weight of these and the balance...).
Ok. I made these for you. I'll make my pair over the weekend. Meet me down at the edge of where the sea meets land and we'll splash in the sun without a care in the world.
These will arrive wrapped in my signature style. Earrings ship USPS First Class Mail with Delivery Confirmation within the US.
NOTE: All of my earrings are completely unworn for your health and well-being.
ADDITIONAL RANDOM FACT: The movie Splash was released 25 years ago! I saw that in the theater and it doesn't seem so long ago!
