Dark and mysterious, these super lustrous Tahitian black pearls are topped with handmade fine silver and 22k gold flower bead caps, 24k gold vermeil flower spacers and tiny fine silver beads. They hang from oxidized sterling silver ear wires with a 22k gold ball end. The gold accents on the flower caps are done by fusing the gold to the fine silver, a process called Keum Boo. Rubber stoppers are included with these earrings. These stunning earrings measure 32 mm x 11 mm, or 1 1/4 inches long.
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. The silver is reclaimed from such sources as 35mm film and medical and industrial leftovers. No strip mining necessary.
