Bark Earrings – Argentium Silver Long Rectangle
These Bark earrings reflect the LIFE design group. I lay out pieces of Argentium silver in varying textures and thicknesses, then fuse them together to resemble natural bark. The long rectangular form emphasizes clean edges while preserving organic texture. Handmade Argentium silver earwires are nickel-free.
Because the surface is layered, light settles into the grooves and enhances depth. Meanwhile, the elongated rectangle creates structure and clarity. As a result, the earrings feel bold yet grounded. Although substantial in presence, the narrow width keeps them balanced and wearable.

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