Beautiful transparent amber beads made from frosted glass which glow as they catch the light hang from handmade silver ear wires. The beads sit on handmade silver hoops which fasten with a hook. The bead moves freely on the D shaped hoop.
Measurements
Glass beads are approximately 13mm in diameter.
Hoop wires are 45mm in long and 15mm wide.
What are the discs and earrings made from?
The beads are made from borosilicate glass. The earrings are made from 0.8mm Argentium 940 silver which does not tarnish and has a higher silver content that sterling silver. This makes ear wires which are comfortable and light to wear.
How are these earrings made?
We start by making the discs,winding glass round a steel rod to create the shape. Discs are hand made one at a time using a lampwork torch, so each and every one is unique. The discs are then annealed to ensure strength and durability before being tumble etched for a frosted finish. and added to the hoops.
The ear wires are made by bending and hammering Argentium silver wire.
