Amethyst Earrings – Argentium Silver – Long Bark
These Long Bark earrings are formed from Argentium silver wire. I lay out and fuse the wire to create the look of natural silver bark. The surface develops texture and depth, much like tree grain. A natural marquise-cut Amethyst accents each piece and adds rich purple contrast. Handmade Argentium silver earwires are nickel-free.
Light moves across the raised bark texture as the earrings shift. Meanwhile, the slim vertical form keeps the design refined. Although narrow in width, the textured surface adds presence and character.

The bark texture reflects the LIFE design group. It suggests growth and resilience. At the same time, the clean vertical line keeps the form balanced and wearable.

I arrange and fuse solid silver wire to build the bark texture. Then I refine the surface and set the Amethyst stones. Finally, I polish the earrings and attach the earwires.
