Description
Dyed and shaped anodised aluminum and sterling silver drop earrings with sterling silver ear wires.
These earrings have been dyed, cut and shaped from my workshop in Wiltshire. The lower part of the earring has been pressed through my rolling mill with a skeleton leaf to get this gorgeous veiny leaf texture. The top part of the earrings has a printed flower outline in black. They are finished with sterling silver ear wires.
The earrings measure 65 mm in length (dropping from the ear) and 20 mm in width at the widest part of the leaf. They are lightweight, stylish and easy to wear and come in a Kraft gift box with a velvet insert.
Some information about anodised aluminium
Anosiding uses acid to create a corrosive and wear resistant layer on top of the metal. The anodic layer is left unsealed allowing the material to be dyed. The dyeing and patterning are my favourite part of the process as there are endless possibilities for colour, pattern, print and texture. This make anodised aluminum a hard wearing and lightweight material for jewellery making and sculpture.
