Bark Earrings – Antique Finish – Argentium Silver 940
These Argentium Silver Bark Earrings are part of the 🌿 LIFE Design Group — inspired by organic texture, balance, and quiet strength. I create each pair by layering and soldering small pieces of silver, building a natural bark surface that feels alive under the light. Once shaped and refined, I apply a permanent antique finish to deepen the texture and highlight every ridge and groove.
Each pair is handmade, so the bark pattern and tone vary slightly. The long handmade earwires balance the length and add graceful movement. The antique finish gives warmth and contrast, while the raised details catch just enough light for subtle shimmer.

Materials & Care
Argentium 940 has a bright white tone, strong structure, and slower tarnish than traditional sterling. It is nickel-free and holds fine detail well. The antique finish is permanent and does not need polishing. A soft cloth is enough for care.

I layer and solder pieces of silver to form the bark texture, then shape and refine the surface. After heating and patina application, I polish the high points to a soft glow. The result is a piece that feels both ancient and new.
