I usually make earrings to complement another item of jewellery - a pendant or a necklace. See pendants and sets for  examples.        
        The four pairs below are examples of ones that 'happened' on their own, though the second from the left is a development of an earlier design.

            The first two on the left above are produced by rolling material onto silver. The first, not surprisingly is a metal mesh. The second is produced by impressing some pieces of old corduroy jeans!  
            The second from the right above is a simple style - produced in a short time - very 'off the cuff'. The rightmost design is a simple twist of fine (99.99% pure silver) that is elegant and effective - and  very popular with my customers. The design comes in different lengths and textures (polished/satin or dimpled).  Below left uses the technique 'kum boo' to fuse a layer of gold foil to the surface of fine silver.  After that the sheet was embossed with a pattern.               |

              Earrings can have studs, wires or screws - just ask!   
              I always sell earrings with new earwires.
