Bark Earrings – Argentium Silver Vertical
These Bark earrings reflect the LIFE design group. I layer and fuse pieces of Argentium silver to recreate the texture of natural bark. Then I orient the pattern vertically to emphasize length and direction. Each pair is individually sculpted, so no two are ever the same. Handmade Argentium silver earwires are nickel-free.
Because the surface is layered, light settles into the grooves and enhances depth. Meanwhile, the vertical orientation elongates the silhouette. As a result, the earrings feel organic and balanced. Although bold in presence, they remain comfortable for everyday wear.

I layer and fuse silver elements to build texture and depth. Then I refine the surface and polish before assembling the earwires.
