These nature inspired earrings feature chrysalis as the focal point. The chrysalis design has been imprinted into the metal sheet via a rolling mill, then further enhanced with a chasing/repousse technique done by hand. The pewter chrysalis are adorned with beautiful iridescent buying Roman glass and sterling and glass beads. It was difficult to capture the sparkling iridescence in natural light, so most of these photos were taken under artificial light. While the colors are prettier in person, you can at least get a sense of the vibrant pink, green and purple flashes of color on the glass.
These medium weight earrings are approximately 3/4 inch wide and 3 inches long from the top of the non-allergenic titanium ear wires to the bottom of the chrysalis focals. Constructed and adorned with sterling silver.
The aged patina applied to the focal pieces has been protected with Renaissance wax and hand buffed to a subtle sheen.
