Turquoise Earrings – Argentium Silver Hammered Sun
These Turquoise Earrings – Argentium Silver Hammered Sun feature a hollow sun form with a suspended turquoise teardrop. I cut and shape Argentium silver wire into an open sun shape. Then I fuse the joins, flatten the form, and apply a hand-hammered texture.
Because the circle is hollow, it represents the sun. Meanwhile, the hammered surface adds light reflection and subtle movement. Once polished, I suspend a turquoise teardrop beneath the open frame to introduce colour and contrast. Handmade, nickel-free Argentium silver earwires complete the design.
The open sun keeps the earrings lightweight. However, the turquoise adds grounding and depth. As a result, the form feels balanced between air and structure.

I form and fuse the hollow sun first. Then I hammer the surface and attach the turquoise before final polishing.
