Sterling silver asymmetric teardrop earrings

Description

Entirely hand made Sterling silver earrings of asymmetric loops with teardrop ends.

The earrings were formed by melting both ends of heavy gauge silver wire into the largest possible blob which was then hammered flat and shaped, smoothed and polished to a high degree of finish, before twisting into an asymmetric or wishbone shaped loop. The flats of these teardrops catch the light as the earrings move, creating twinkle. It's hard to capture them in the photographs due to the mirror shine on them, hence they have been shown from various angles.

I have two pairs made and available, one is slightly larger than the other:

Small ~ they drop 31mm (1.2") overall from the top of the earwires and hang approximately 14mm (0.6") at their widest, in wear.

Large ~ they drop 35mm (1.33") overall from the top of the earwires and they hang approximately 12mm (½") at their widest, in wear.

The hand formed earwires have been hammered slightly for strength and the ends filed for comfort. I've hung the earrings opposite hand, so by changing which ear they're worn in, a slightly different look can be achieved. They have been tumble polished for strength and shine.

Please note that the photographs here show small items much larger than they are in reality, which can be a little deceptive, so please check the measurements against a ruler to ensure that they meet your requirements.
