Forged by hand in solid sterling silver, these twisted cross earrings are built in our Adirondack jewelry studio using traditional silversmithing tools and disciplined bench techniques. Each form is shaped from twisted silver and refined by hand, creating a sculptural cross with heart details at each tip.
Finished in bright polished silver, these earrings reflect heirloom quality silver with clean structure and fluid movement.
Form & Proportion
Measuring approximately 3 inches in length, these earrings carry an elongated, statement silhouette while maintaining balance and wearability.
The twisted silver form creates a continuous sense of motion, drawing the eye along the length of the cross. At each tip, a subtle heart shape softens the structure, introducing contrast between strong line and curved detail.
The length allows for natural movement, while the polished finish enhances the contours and reflective quality of the twisted silver.
Materials & Method
Each earring is forged from solid sterling silver and shaped through controlled twisting and forming at the bench. The cross structure and heart tips are developed as a continuous form, ensuring strength and cohesion throughout the design.
The surface is refined to a bright polished finish, allowing light to move across the twists and contours of the metal.
Every pair is built in our Adirondack jewelry studio through traditional silversmithing practice.
