Charleston. Old South Collection Earrings - Oxidized fine silver. 14kt Goldfill. Mixed Metal. Handmade

"Old South Collection - Charleston" A series crafted from antique buttons I borrowed from my grandmother's collection.. they have a Victorian feel & remind me of the architecture you'll find in some of my favorite old Southern cities.

Coordinating necklace shown is available in a separate listing.

COMPONENTS/PROCESS:
~12mm tears of recycled fine silver (99% pure silver/sterling is 92.5% silver) crafted & imprinted from old antique buttons by hand by me. As I construct each one entirely by hand sizes are approximate.
My handforged 14kt Goldfill earwires. (sterling silver earwires are also available from the dropdown menu)
An oxidized patina was added layer by layer then carefully removed by brushing & polishing by hand to add depth to the design & a bit of rustic appeal.

LENGTH:
Including my handforged earwires is 1 1/8 inches.

OTHER:
* These are MADE TO ORDER & as I construct each one entirely by hand please expect slight variations. Yours will be very similar to the one shown though =).

* Also available in all silver from the drop down menu at checkout.

* Please note that these require a MINIMUM of 72 hours for me to fabricate. Please allow 7-10 business days for your order to ship with standard shipping. Rush shipping options are available.

* All pieces are lovingly fabricated by my two little hands (with help from a few pair of pliers, a couple of my favorite hammers & my handy torch) in my loft studio on my little farm in Oglethorpe County, GA.
