Bark Earrings – Argentium Silver Vertical Long
These Bark earrings reflect the LIFE design group. I lay out and fuse pieces of Argentium silver to recreate the texture of natural tree bark. Then I refine the layered surface and shape the form vertically to emphasize length and direction. Handmade Argentium silver earwires are nickel-free.
Because the surface is deeply textured, light settles into the grooves and highlights the raised ridges. Meanwhile, the elongated silhouette creates dramatic presence. As a result, the earrings feel bold and organic. Although very long in form, the slim width keeps them balanced and wearable.

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