Poppy earrings with 14kt gold centre

Description

These delicate poppy earrings have been created in sterling silver and feature a 14ct gold centre.

To create the poppy and the centre I start with a circle of both sterling silver and 14ct gold. The circles are then beaten with a variety of hammers to build up an organic texture on the metal and to make the edges uneven.

The circles are finally domed and then placed on a handmade sterling silver headpin which is soldered in place to finish the earrings.

The poppies have been tumbled to create a sparkly finish, but the inside of the silver cup retains a small amount of white silver oxide to add to the organic, textured look.

Each poppy is approximately 0.8cm (0.3”) in diameter and 0.3cm (0.12”) deep. The post of each earring is approximately 1cm long (0.4”).

Please see the photograph of the rose earrings in my hand which I’ve included to give an idea of scale (they are the same size as the poppy earrings).

Note that my jewellery is all individually handmade. The item you purchase may differ slightly from the one photographed. This is part of the beauty of handmade work – no two pieces are ever identical.
