The River Collection Hand-Forged Argentium Silver Earrings

These earrings are part of The River collection, hand-forged in Argentium silver in our Adirondack jewelry studio using traditional silversmithing tools. The oval forms are shaped at the bench, with flowing lines worked both into the surface and built up through fused round wire. Flattened Argentium silver beads are placed along these lines, creating a layered composition that reflects the natural movement of water.

Form & Proportion

The earrings measure approximately 1.5 inches in length, offering a balanced oval profile that sits with presence while remaining wearable. The flowing lines move across each form in a continuous path, creating a sense of direction and rhythm. The proportions are intentional—refined in scale with enough structure to hold visual weight.

Materials & Method

Forged from Argentium silver, each earring is shaped and refined through controlled tool work. Lines are inset into the surface and paired with fused round wire to create dimensional contrast. Flattened silver beads are integrated along the path, adding texture and depth. An oxidized finish enhances these details, bringing forward the layered structure of the metalwork. This is hand-forged sterling silver jewelry built with precision and durability.
