Bark Earrings – Post – Argentium Silver – Horizontal
These Bark post earrings reflect the LIFE design group. I layer small pieces of Argentium silver and fuse them together to recreate the texture of natural bark. Then I shape the pattern horizontally to emphasize width and balance. The posts and backs are solid Argentium silver and are nickel-free.
Because the surface is layered, light settles into the grooves and enhances depth. Meanwhile, the horizontal orientation creates a grounded silhouette. As a result, the earrings feel organic and stable. Although compact in size, they retain strong natural character.

I layer and fuse small silver elements to build the bark texture. Then I refine the edges and solder the posts securely before final polishing.
