Bark Earrings – Argentium Silver Vertical
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 surface and shape the form vertically to emphasize length and movement. 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 strong visual presence. As a result, the earrings feel bold and organic. Although substantial in weight, the vertical orientation keeps them balanced and wearable.

I layer and fuse silver pieces to build depth and texture. Then I refine the edges and strengthen the structure before polishing and assembling the earwires.
