Ametrine Earrings – Argentium Silver V Bail
These V Bail earrings are shaped from solid Argentium silver. I hand hammer the V-shaped bail to create texture and strength. Then I form the earwires from the same silver for balance and durability. A natural Ametrine teardrop hangs below and adds bold colour contrast. All elements are cut, shaped, and soldered by hand. The earwires are nickel-free.
The Ametrine gemstone carries both purple and golden tones. Because Amethyst and Citrine form together in the same geode, the crystal shows two natural colours in one stone. As the earrings move, the colour shifts between violet and warm yellow. Meanwhile, the clean V shape creates structure and direction.

Design & Feel
The V form reflects the STRUCTURE design group. Sharp lines create clarity, while the gemstone softens the geometry. Together, they create a confident and balanced design.

I cut and hammer the V bail from solid silver sheet. Then I solder the structure and refine the edges. After setting the Ametrine, I polish the earrings and form the earwires.
