Reticulated Silver Drop Earrings

Description

Handmade using  the process of reticulation, these organic earrings are just beautiful.

Silver reticulation is achieved by a lengthy process of cleaning and heating sterling silver sheet multiple times at a distinct temperature to deplete the surface layer of copper, leaving a fine silver layer which can then be manipulated with a flame into ripples and ridges, giving a moonscape-like texture. It is a lengthy process with unique results every time.

Shapes are then hand-cut from the reticulated sheet, choosing the most impressive sections of reticulated texture.

The ripples, ridges and tiny bubbles catch the light beautifully as they swing.
