Delicate and contemporary rose earrings in sterling silver.

These beautiful rose earrings have been handmade in sterling silver. Each earring features three layers of 'petals' - each created from an organic cup-like shape, one nested inside the other.

To create the roses I start with circles of varying sizes cut from sterling silver. The circles are then beaten with a variety of hammers to build up an organic texture on the metal and to make the edges uneven. The circles are finally domed and then placed on a handmade sterling silver pin, which is soldered in place to form the post for the earrings as well as the centre of the flower.

The roses have been tumbled to create a sparkly finish.

Each earring has a sterling silver butterfly earring nut to secure it in place.

This design assists me to recycle the leftover sterling silver from making other jewellery. This helps to ensure that only small scrap pieces are sent for refining, reducing the environmental impact.

Just the facts:

  • Materials: sterling silver.
  • Size: approximately 0.8cm (0.3") in diameter and 0.3cm (0.12") deep. The post of each earring is approximately 1cm long (0.4").

Notes:

  • Most of the milled gold and silver I use is recycled rather than newly mined. Learn more about my environment and ethics policies.
  • All of my jewellery is individually handmade, so the item you purchase may vary slightly from the one photographed. This is part of the beauty of handmade work - each piece has its own personality!
