Shade Earrings

Shade Earrings

These darling earrings were lovingly handcrafted with Art Clay Silver, an eco-friendly metal clay.



Art Clay Silver is a combination of recycled fine silver (.999 silver), organic binders and water. After firing it in my kiln, the organic binders burn away and what is left is 99.9% fine silver.



Each earrings has been polished satin finish. The inside of each leaf features glass enamel in a soothing spring green.



They are just a hair shy of 1 1/4 inches (3.2cm) in length from the top of the earring wires. The earring wires are sterling silver.
