Amethyst Earrings – Argentium Silver – Hollow Sun
These Amethyst earrings are formed in a hollow sun design from solid Argentium silver. I cut and shape silver wire into an open circular form, then fuse the structure together by hand. After flattening and refining the surface, I apply a hand hammered texture to catch the light. A faceted Amethyst teardrop hangs below, adding depth and rich purple contrast. Handmade Argentium silver earwires are nickel-free.
Light moves across the hammered surface as the earrings shift. Meanwhile, the open sun form keeps the design airy and balanced. The Amethyst adds weight and colour, yet the structure remains clean and refined.

The hollow sun shape reflects the SKY design group. The open circle suggests space and movement, while the hammered surface adds texture and light. The result feels luminous and expressive.

I shape and fuse solid silver wire into a circular sun form. Then I flatten and refine the surface before applying the hammered texture. After attaching the Amethyst drop, I polish and assemble the earwires.
