    Default Forged Silver Earrings

    I made these over the weekend.

    They are beautifully dangly - over 70mm long each (or about 2 3/4 inches in old money) without the ear wires.

    Hand forged from 3mm sterling wire with shed loads of annealing and a lot of hammering.

    Very slender at the tips, hammered down to 0.45mm, which was about the thinnest I felt I could go without being dangerously sharp.

    What do you think?

    Have you been reading my mind? I love this type of design.
    I'd be tempted to go even longer and more dangly.
    Quite simply GORGEOUS.

    They're really nice and I know from experience how much work goes into those.

    I think they're beautiful and make me wish I had a long enough neck to wear them.

    oh yes, lovely long earrings and just the sort I'd love to wear - I'm sure I can see my name on the bottom in teeny letters...

    I'm hoping for world peace but I'd also like something shiny as well...
