Chilly Water Earrings
Sterling silver - reclaimed
Royston Ribbon turquoise
Measures a little under 3” long
It doesn’t get much prettier than this pair of Royston Turquoise. The green reminds me of a cold green river. The kind you want to plunge in to and look around and all that lives within it.
These earrings are lightweight and hang so gracefully from the ears. I love them. You will too.
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.
