Bark Earrings – Argentium Silver Twisted
These Bark earrings reflect the LIFE design group. I lay out small pieces of Argentium silver wire and fuse them together to recreate the texture of natural bark. Then I introduce a subtle twist to the form to add movement and dimension. Handmade Argentium silver earwires are nickel-free.
Because the surface is layered, light settles into the grooves and enhances depth. Meanwhile, the twisted shape softens the structure and adds flow. As a result, the earrings feel organic and expressive. Although small in scale, the texture gives them strong character.

I layer and fuse silver wire to build the bark texture. Then I refine and twist the form before polishing and assembling the earwires.
