Black onyx contemporary geometric earrings dainty_jewelry firing times and color codes

firing times and color codes I used in each pair

These earrings do have a contemporary design but with a somewhat ancient feeling to them due to the aged look caused by my etched design as well as the use of this somewhat ancient gorgeous copper alloy that I have made myself

or giving it as a gift

In this design multiple layers of vitreous glass powders in various colors in a process called "crackle" come together to create this little piece of art

This is much more time consuming in the creation of the piece but increases its strength and stability

Perhaps I was inspired by paper clips as I certainly see a resemblance to them but in a big, bold way that shouts sophisticated fun! Great textures with black onyx cabochons bezel set in sterling silver on the domed discs. Ear wires in sterling silver are hypo allergenic and pretty with a coiled wire and bead accent. 4" in length
