Sea Glass Drop Earrings in Argentium Silver
🏔️ LAND DESIGN
These Sea glass drop earrings frame naturally frosted ocean glass suspended below freeform Argentium silver circles. The long drop adds movement. The solid silver circle keeps the design steady and strong.
Design & Feel
I shape each circle by hand. The curves feel natural, not measured. The open circle keeps the earrings light. At the same time, the Sea glass softens the bright silver. As a result, the earrings feel grounded and calm.
About the Sea Glass
The Sea glass has a soft, frosted finish that catches the light beautifully. Each piece may show slight variations in colour, shape, and texture, adding to its individual character.
Argentium Heat & Finish
These earrings are made with Argentium silver. I heat-treat the metal to increase hardness and slow tarnish. After that, I polish the silver while keeping the organic edges.

Learn More (Making Process)
Each piece begins as raw Argentium silver wire or sheet. I shape, solder, and fuse the design by hand, then refine and finish every detail. Once the silverwork is complete, the piece is heat treated to develop Argentium’s protective germanium layer and improve tarnish resistance. Any gemstones are added only after heat treatment is complete. The finished piece is then polished and carefully inspected before it leaves my studio.
