Fine silver wire has been meticulously braided and twined in a tight spiraling weave, and then sheathed over sterling silver tubing to give strength and structure to the design. Each earring features two woven beads: a longer bead at the bottom is connected by a 14k gold ring to silver chain, and the second bead is threaded through the chain to slide freely up and down its length. The silver ear wires are connected to the chain by a second 14k gold ring. The silver has been oxidized and then lightly brushed to highlight the raised areas and show contrast in the pattern. The blackened patina contrasts beautifully with the yellow gold accents.
Entirely handmade from fine (.999) and sterling (.975) silver, the earrings measure 4" in length from the top of the ear wire. The beads have a diameter of 4.5mm. These one of a kind earrings are ready to ship!
