Amethyst Earrings – Argentium Silver – Chandelier Waves
These Argentium Silver Amethyst Earrings are part of the 💧 WATER Design Group — inspired by movement, rhythm, and layered flow. I form a triangular water panel with soft, fluid edges, then shape and solder silver waves and pebble details across the surface. Below the panel, faceted amethyst teardrops hang freely, adding colour and gentle motion.
The open triangular frame keeps the design light, while the textured waves reflect light from multiple angles. Meanwhile, the amethyst drops bring depth and contrast. As the earrings move, the gemstones catch and release light, echoing the shimmer of water in motion.
Each pair is handmade and individually finished. I also form the earwires by hand from Argentium silver, so they are always nickel-free and comfortable for sensitive ears.

Learn More (Making Process)
I shape the triangular panel first, then solder layered wave and pebble details into place. After refining the surface, I attach the amethyst drops and handmade earwires. Finally, I polish the silver to enhance contrast and movement.
