Black Onyx Hand-Forged Sterling Silver Dangle Earrings

Hand-forged in the Adirondack foothills, these sterling silver dangle earrings feature offset diamond-shaped silver forms centered around rich black onyx cabochons. The bold geometry of the silverwork is softened by the round stones, creating a balanced composition that feels both modern and timeless.

Built as a one-of-a-kind pair of artisan sterling silver earrings, these earrings showcase intentional design, disciplined metalwork, and the enduring appeal of hand-forged silver jewelry.

Form & Wearability

Measuring approximately 2 inches in length, these earrings offer noticeable presence while maintaining comfortable daily wear. The offset diamond silhouette creates visual movement and draws attention to the round black onyx stones positioned at the center of each design.

Their lightweight dangle construction allows for natural movement, while the geometric silver framework creates structure and balance. The result is an earring that feels substantial in appearance without being overwhelming in scale.

Material & Studio Practice

These handcrafted silver earrings are forged using traditional silversmithing tools and hands-on fabrication techniques within our Adirondack jewelry studio. Each diamond-shaped silver element is individually formed and refined before being paired with a carefully selected black onyx cabochon.

An oxidized finish highlights the contours and dimensional details of the silverwork, adding depth and contrast while emphasizing the striking dark tones of the onyx. Every stage of fabrication is completed by hand, reflecting the intentional bench work that defines Sterling Roots.
