Forged by hand in solid sterling silver, these raindrop-shaped earrings feature a sculptural composition of form, texture, and movement. Built in our Adirondack jewelry studio using traditional silversmithing tools, each element is shaped and assembled at the bench with disciplined metalwork.
Oxidized and hand-finished, the design reflects heirloom quality silver with natural line and dimensional detail.
Form & Proportion
Measuring approximately 2 inches in length, these earrings carry a balanced, elongated silhouette.
The raindrop form creates a clean outer shape, while a solid oval disc at the top anchors the composition. Through the center, windswept bead detailing introduces movement and flow, leading the eye downward.
Along the edge, a fern-inspired setting follows the curve of the raindrop, adding organic structure and texture. The combination of elements creates depth while maintaining a cohesive, wearable scale.
Materials & Method
Each earring is forged from solid sterling silver and built through layered bench work. The oval disc, bead elements, and fern detailing are individually formed and integrated into the structure.
The windswept beads are shaped and positioned to create directional movement, while the fern edge detail is developed through controlled forming and placement along the perimeter.
An oxidized finish enhances contrast across the surfaces, bringing forward the contours, textures, and dimensional elements of the design.
