North Wind Earrings ( soft white druzy geode gemstones. antique sterling silver shops dangle earrings. oxidized chain fringe. tassel jewelry ) #7

“It's the great, big, broad land 'way up yonder,
It's the forests where silence has lease;
It's the beauty that thrills me with wonder,
It's the stillness that fills me with peace.”
– Robert Service, The Spell of the Yukon


It seems only proper that on the day I finished these earrings, there would be a gale lashing the birches outside our house, as these earrings are my ode to the north wind.

They are comprised of hand-cut rock quartzes cut from the insides of druzy geodes, icy white like the hoarfrost that clings to wind-whipped mountainsides. And below is a swath of chain, to help you feel the wind as it twines through your hair.

Earrings made of delicateness and movement, ice and the north wind.


☀ This piece is part of the North Wind Collection, which features snowy dendritic agates and shimmering moonstones, reminiscent of the frosty winter landscape.

♥ Made in my work studio in the sleepy hills of Ithaca using time-consuming, age-old metalsmithing techniques. This piece is made with solid craftsmanship and all parts of this piece have been hand-fabricated.
______________________________________________

♥ All of the pieces in my collections are handmade and hand-finished, and make use of natural and recycled materials. All items will have slight, natural imperfections rendering each piece unique. It is these variations and imperfections which denote their handcrafted nature and individual character, specially made for every wearer.
______________________________________________

♥ To create my antiqued pieces, the sterling silver is oxidize until dark gray. Oxidation is a process that happens over time naturally to sterling silver. Then the piece is brushed and polished until the highlights are lighter and the lowlights are darkened. But this oxidization is not permanent, and will fade in the areas that rub, and stay dark in the recesses. The patina will change over time, making your piece unique to you, and growing more beautiful with wear.
