Aspen Leaf and Turquoise Hand-Forged Sterling Silver Threader Earrings

These earrings feature hand-sawn and hand-forged aspen leaves in sterling silver, built in our Adirondack jewelry studio using traditional silversmithing tools. Each leaf is shaped and hand stamped at the bench, carrying subtle variation that reflects the process and the material. A small turquoise bead sits at the top, introducing a natural point of color within a clean, intentional design.

Form & Proportion

The earrings measure just over 1.25 inches in length, offering a balanced, lightweight profile. The threader style allows for a fluid line through the ear, creating natural movement when worn. The leaf form is scaled to remain refined while still holding clear visual presence.

Materials & Method

Forged from solid sterling silver, each leaf is hand cut, shaped, and stamped through controlled tool work. The turquoise bead is carefully placed to complement the form without overwhelming it. An oxidized finish enhances depth in the stamped details, bringing forward the texture of the leaf. These are hand-forged sterling silver jewelry pieces built with precision and intention.
