24K Gold/Shiny/Oxidized Sterling Silver Dangles #1

24K gold provides a dramatic contrast against bright and shiny as well as oxidized sterling silver in these one of a kind dangle earrings. Lightweight, they will become one of your favorites as they are easily dressed up or down.

So many of my favorite techniques as well as materials play together beautifully in these dimensional earrings.  Textures abound through the use of acid etching, creating deeply "imbedded" designs on the sterling silver.  These earrings have been gently domed.  The use of rivets connects the two components, adding height and dimension to the overall design.  They frame your face in beautifully as there is a decided "left" and "right" earring that are somewhat mirror images of each other.  Ear wires have a pretty balled end and are easy to wear.  These earrings hang beautifully and have wonderful texture and movement, two design principles I feel strongly about incorporating into my work.  This very pleasing contemporary design has both a somewhat celestial as well as architectural feeling to it, doesn't it?  

These earrings measure 2 1/2" in length and 3/4" in width.
