I love the color of aqua chalcedony. These faceted stones have a milky, translucent blue green color that seems to glow when the light hits them. They always remind me a little bit of the beach, summertime and the sky, and I love how soft and luminous the color feels.
I created the silver drops in a simple leaf shape, hammered around the rim and flared the silver through the center. I then gave each drop a subtle twist in opposite directions so the two earrings are mirror images of one another. That little bit of dimension completely changed the design. As the earrings move, the curved surfaces and hammered edges catch the light from different angles, giving the drops a really sculptural look.
I polished the silver to a high shine to catch the light beautifully and created handmade ear wires that repeat the leaf shape of the drops. These ear wires are a little longer than a traditional hook but shorter than some of the elongated ear wires I make. If you prefer a simpler look or shorter overall length, standard French hooks or secure lever backs are also available.

Created with Argentium Sterling Silver
Created with Argentium Sterling Silver
Argentium Sterling Silver is a high grade of sterling silver. Traditional sterling silver is 92.5% silver while Argentium is 94% pure silver. In addition to a higher silver content, Argentium is also certified nickel free, created from recycled silver, brighter white in color and is naturally tarnish resistant due to having less copper present than traditional silver. Argentium Sterling Silver is transparent about what their alloy is so you can be sure you are getting hypoallergenic nickel free sterling silver. We love working with this silver and the bright shiny polish we can achieve with it!
