Bar and X Earring Jacket – Argentium Silver
These Bar and X earrings are a modular jacket design in solid Argentium silver. The X forms the post, while the slim bar functions as the removable jacket. You can wear the X alone for a minimal look, or you can add the bar for contrast and length. In addition, the jacket can pair with other favourite posts, such as a diamond stud or birthstone stud. The posts and backs are Argentium silver and are nickel-free.
Because the components separate, the styling remains flexible. Meanwhile, the clean X shape introduces strong angles. The bar adds direction and movement. As a result, the design feels structured and adaptable.

Design & Feel
The STRUCTURE design group emphasizes clean lines and bold geometry. The X creates stability, while the bar introduces extension. Together, they form a balanced architectural statement.

I cut and form each X and bar from solid silver sheet. Then I solder and refine the edges before polishing the components for a clean finish.
