DESCRIPTION
Oval dangle earrings have a gold accent. Light and sparkly, they sway when you move.
Understated, simple, but not bland. The gold adds a little extra shimmer in the right light.
Because they are hand-cut, hammered and a little reticulated they are not exactly the same. They are siblings, not identical twins.
They hang 1 5/8" from the top of the ear wire. Earrings are 1/2" wide. Top pieces are about 13/16" long and 1/4" wide.
These earrings are handmade at Lyon Pond Studio from sterling silver sheet by sawing, filing, sanding, polishing, etc. The top piece was depletion gilded and I then painted on, fused and burnished a 22 kt gold accent. The sliver hammered and is slightly reticulated (has a little texture).
The ear wires are also handmade by me.
Because these were made by hand without a template, each one is slightly different from the other.
They are not high polished. They have more of a satiny finish and slight oxidation.
