Carnelian Earrings – Argentium Silver V Bail – Small
Hand-hammered Argentium silver formed into a compact V-shaped bail. I shape and solder each section by hand. Then I refine the surface to keep the lines clean and structured.
A natural carnelian drop hangs beneath the V form. The warm orange tone contrasts with the bright white silver. As a result, the earrings feel bold yet scaled down. Short handmade, nickel-free Argentium silver earwires keep the profile tight and balanced.
The smaller proportion creates a sharper, more minimal silhouette. Meanwhile, the carnelian adds warmth and depth. If you’d like to explore similar forming and texturing techniques, visit my

I hammer and form the V bail from solid silver. Then I secure the carnelian drop and polish the surface to achieve crisp contrast.
