Earrings Half An Ellipse With Lapis

I love these earrings, they are simple but elegant and dressy. The dark blue Lapis shows off the silver and gold. which is such a regal combination.

I used one of my favorite chrysanthemum petal textures to press into an elliptical shape. I cut the ellipse into two equal halves. I attached a serrated pure silver bezel at the bottom of each half. After refining and drying the pieces were fired in a 1650 degree F kiln for 2 hours. What came out was pure 999 silver. 24K Gold Foil was burnished on, an Ancient Korean technique called Keum Boo. Some patina was painted on for color.

These can be worn daily or kept for special occasions. They are bound to make the wearer feel stylish.

Dimensions : 1 and 1/2 inch X by almost 1/2 inch. Sterling silver ear wires. These can be changed to comfortable sterling silver clip ons for an additional charge.
