These richly textured earrings are tactile and sensual - they are distinctly reminiscent of a sand dollar while the detailed granulation is evocative of ancient Etruscan jewelry, the bronze just makes them more down to earth, bohemian and beachy. I cast them in eco friendly recycled bronze from a mold I made of an antique button. I then oxidized them and buffed and polished them for high contrast and shine to bring out detail. They measure 1/2 inch (12.7mm) round and hang from nicely detailed sterling silver earwires.
These earrings are overall 7/8 inches long (about 23mm), minus the earwire they are 9/16 inches (15mm) round.
