Pearl (Purple) Earrings – Teardrop Wave – Argentium Silver 940
These Argentium Silver Pearl Earrings feature soft purple freshwater coin pearls framed by hand-shaped silver waves. Part of the 💧 WATER Design Group, this design reflects rhythm and fluid motion — like rain rippling across calm water. I form each teardrop frame by hand, shaping the silver into flowing curves before setting the pearl. Beside it, I add small jump rings that move and catch light with each turn of the head.
Each pair is individually shaped and finished, so no two are identical. The bright tone of Argentium silver contrasts beautifully with the iridescent pearl, while the open teardrop keeps the design airy and light. The movement of the jump rings adds an element of play, giving these earrings their lively yet balanced feel.

Learn More (Making Process)
I form the wavy teardrop frames by hand, hammering to create subtle texture. The pearls are then mounted inside, and jump rings are attached to move freely beside them. After polishing and tumbling, the silver gains a bright, smooth finish that highlights the natural beauty of the pearls.
