Bark Earrings – Argentium Silver Vertical
These Bark earrings reflect the LIFE design group. I build the texture by layering small pieces of Argentium silver and fusing them together. Then I add more layers and refine the surface until the bark pattern develops fully. The vertical orientation emphasizes length and structure. Handmade Argentium silver earwires are nickel-free.
Because the surface is richly textured, light moves across the ridges and valleys. Meanwhile, the longer length creates strong presence. As a result, the earrings feel bold and organic. Although substantial in weight, the vertical form keeps them balanced and wearable.

I layer and fuse small silver elements to create depth. Then I refine the edges and strengthen the structure before polishing and assembling the earwires.
