Inspired by a seed pod bursting open, these earrings coordinate with other pieces from my silver seed collection.
Cast from solid sterling silver they are created with two parts; the drop pod dangle and the circle of seeds that are a stud earrings. Included are large sterling silver butterfly ear backings to keep your earrings in place.

Drop Pod Stud Earrings
♢ Solid sterling silver
♢ To create this design I first made two masters out of Argentium silver, forming the drop shape and circle frames with little balls of silver to be the "seeds." The two components were finished to perfection and rubber molded. Creating a wax from the mold and casting the design into solid sterling silver I can make matching earrings or pendant for you (and a friend.) I have a whole collection of silver seed work (which includes cast and one of a kinds.)
♢ The process of creating is slow and intentional, I use traditional metalsmithing tools and processes alongside modern ones to create all my pieces by hand. My heart goes into every single piece I design.
♢ I love gardening -- it is my biggest source of inspiration. I am drawn into all the little details and symbolism literally blooming all around me. As a metalsmith and jewellery designer I am fascinated with capturing the moment and transforming it into sterling silver. Jewellery is lasting, it does not fade like a flower and becomes a tiny little treasure box full of memories!
♢ Seeds and seed pods are a prominent element in my designs. The seed represents hope, perseverance, and potential. It is a symbol of encouragement!
♢ The earrings have a great size. The total length is 4.8 cm, the stud diameter is 1.1 and the width is 1.3 cm.
♢ The jewellery in the photos is the exact jewellery you will receive, it is made and ready to ship!
♢ Not pictured is the matching necklace.
