I've been making this type of earring for some time...I don't do the shiny finish a great deal (in all honesty they aren't as popular as the textured/hammered/brushed finish) but they certainly are pretty to look at...all smooth and shiny!!!
Being so shiny it makes for taking photos rather difficult...
I've been doing soldering and fusing for awhile...I don't have any photos of my latest pieces yet, they are coming, but here is a sample of earrings I did about a month ago... I prefer abstract and like the fact people know they are handcrafted...so I tried soldering scrap silver, and pieces I've made into scrap, onto in this case, argentium silver circles, no two will ever be exactly the same but it works...
I like the results and have made many earrings and pendants, in all kinds of shapes/sizes/designs...
Enjoy the rest of your weekend...
Cheers
You know me, I'm a sparkly, shiny kind-a Gal...so, I love these...but I especially love what you have created w/ your 'scrap' metal...brilliant-e!!!
ReplyDeleteI love your handcrafted metal jewelry! I admire the fact that it's so beautiful and envy your skills. I'm planning on getting into more facets of jewelry making in 2011 with more metals myself. You'll definately be my inspiration!
