Nothing to exciting here as far as silversmithing technique goes, but I love these earrings all the same. Hand forged silver with faceted Ametrine. What does forge mean? Its a fancy word for hammered. No, no! Not that kind of hammered. Hammered as in using a hammer with a small ball on one end to harden the silver and to make those great little marks. Hmm, this picture doesn't show the marks to well. How about this one?
These ones here are made the same way. What was that fancy word I used kids? That's right forged. No not like in check writing, stop thinking that way.
I dangled amethyst and two different styles of freshwater pearls from these babies. I still don't know what to name them. If you think of something catchy, let me know.
