Ain’t Life Grand Earrings
Sterling silver - reclaimed
Brass accents
Just under 3” long
Post style - these come with flat rounded clutches that hold the earrings securely to the ear
When I posted these earrings before they were completed, a fishy gal friend reached out and said they reminded her of the song Ain’t Life Grand. So, obviously these were branded. I have to say, they do bring that feeling.
Lightweight and spectacular. Oxidized and polished to a matte finish for that DRW glow.
The reclaiming process is a bit of a long one. Most of the sterling silver I buy is from well used jewelry that isn't being worn anymore or has been broken. I also buy used sterling silverware. I melt it all down and roll it into sheet and wire. This means that I don't have to buy freshly mined silver that is much easier to work with. Reclaimed pieces cost more because of this extra process. In the end, reclaiming metal for my wares is gratifying and worth it to me. I hope you feel the same. With love.
