These earrings have been handcrafted using traditional silversmithing skills and tools. The earrings use solid brass as their core material and they’ve had molten silver blobs fused to them to create a “droplet” effect. The metals have then been sanded and polished to a matt finish. Sterling silver ear wires hang from each earring top.

Size: 5cm drop approximately
Materials: Brass, silver

All of my jewellery pieces are handcrafted by me using traditional silversmith skills at my little home studio, and are generally one of a kind in their design. I sometimes use findings which are not handmade, such as the chains I use for pendants but otherwise my jewellery is fashioned just from sheet silver and silver wire and old fashioned basic techniques and tools. I use ethically sourced gemstones where possible and all of the beachcombed items I use such as sea glass, sea pottery and sea plastic are genuine, mostly found by me (unless kindly donated) and smoothed naturally by the sea predominantly off the coast of England. My pieces are hallmarked when necessary as a precious metal by the London Assay Office with my maker’s mark – I use mostly sterling silver for my handmade jewellery and these are hallmarked when they are above the weight of 7.78g.
