Bark Earrings – Post – Argentium Silver – Antique
These Bark post earrings reflect the LIFE design group. I overlap layers of Argentium silver wire and fuse them together to recreate the texture of natural tree bark. Then I refine the surface and apply a permanent antique finish. The posts and backs are solid Argentium silver and are nickel-free.
Because the surface is layered, light settles into the grooves and deepens contrast. Meanwhile, the compact post design keeps the earrings close to the ear. As a result, they feel grounded and organic. Although small in scale, the texture gives them strong character.

Materials & Care
Argentium 940 has a bright white tone, strong structure, and slower tarnish than traditional sterling. It is nickel-free and holds fine detail well. The antique finish is permanent and does not need polishing. A soft cloth is enough for care.

I layer and fuse silver wire to build the bark texture. Then I refine the surface and apply the antique finish before soldering the posts.
