Bark Earrings – Argentium Silver Horizontal
These Bark earrings reflect the LIFE design group. I layer and fuse pieces of Argentium silver to recreate the texture of natural tree bark. Then I shape the form horizontally to emphasize width and balance. Each surface is refined to highlight depth and contrast. Handmade Argentium silver earwires are nickel-free.
Because the bark texture is layered, light settles into the grooves and enhances dimension. Meanwhile, the horizontal orientation creates a grounded silhouette. As a result, the earrings feel organic and stable. Although compact in scale, they retain strong character.

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