Quartz Earrings – Argentium Silver V Bail
Hand-hammered Argentium silver formed into a clean V-shaped bail. I shape and solder each section by hand. Then I texture the surface to create controlled light reflection and crisp structure.
A matched pair of clear quartz swirl-cut drops hang below. The faceting adds movement while remaining transparent and bright. As a result, the earrings feel architectural yet light. Handmade, nickel-free Argentium silver earwires complete the design.
The V form directs the eye downward. Meanwhile, the clear quartz enhances openness and clarity. 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 quartz drops and polish the final surface to achieve clean contrast.
