Amethyst Earrings – Post – Argentium Silver – Twist Ring
These Twist Ring earrings feature a flowing circular form accented with an Amethyst teardrop. I shape and twist solid Argentium silver into an open ring, then refine the lines for balance and movement. The Amethyst adds soft purple contrast against the bright silver. Because these are post earrings, they sit securely and close to the ear. The posts and backs are handmade from Argentium silver and are nickel-free.
Light follows the curve of the twisted ring as it moves. Meanwhile, the teardrop gemstone adds depth and colour. Although compact in size, the open circle keeps the design airy and expressive.

I twist and form solid silver into an open ring shape. Then I solder the structure and refine the surface. After setting the Amethyst, I polish the earrings and attach the posts.
