Stunning AAA, deep purple amethyst gemstone earrings hanging from handmade recycled sterling silver chandeliers. These chandeliers are one of a kind. I cut out the unique shapes and the openings to create very lightweight Victorian style earrings. These fun earrings measure 3 inches(80mm) x 1 5/16 inches(33mm)
A note on precious metal clay: ArtClay silver is a recycled product that consists of fine silver particles suspended in an organic binder. The clay can be worked like other forms of clay, sculpted to almost any shape you desire. The product is then fired at an extremely high temperature, either by kiln or torch. The binder burns away resulting in a pure silver (.999) piece. This particular piece is sterling silver .925. The silver is reclaimed from such sources as 35mm film and medical and industrial leftovers. No strip mining necessary.
