Magenta and Mint Wrapped Teardrop Earrings - Large, Silver, Handmade

Description

Heavy Argentium silver wire is hand formed into a teardrop, hammered to give it strength and aesthetic appeal, and polished to a shine. Small vintage round beads in deep magenta (garnet?) and mint are threaded onto sterling silver wire and wrapped around the frame. Hung on hand forged (shaped, cut, deburred, lightly hammered, and polished) sterling silver French ear hooks. Lively and playful.

Measures just under 1.5” wide by 2” long.

What is Argentium Silver? Argentium Sterling Silver is a modern, premium sterling silver alloy which modifies the traditional alloy (92.5% silver + 7.5% copper) by replacing some of the copper with the metalloid Germanium. Germanium provides for high tarnish resistance, increased ductility, thermal and electrical resistance, and firescale elimination. Argentium Silver also has environmental advantages over traditional sterling silver when heated. Of particular interest to both the artist and the wearer is that Argentium Silver resists tarnish (oxidation). Your Argentium silver jewelry will stay perfectly bright and shiny without the need for special care.
